Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons paprika
1 tablespoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
8 ounces tomato sauce
2 pounds Ground Beef
1-2 yellow onion (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic
3 tablespoons oregano
2 + 2-1/4 tsp tablespoons cumin
12 ounces cheddar cheese
5 tablespoons flour
8 corn torillas
2 cups chicken broth

Steps:

  • Combine the paprika, chilli powder, 1 tablespoon or Cumin and garlic powder in a small bowl. For the beef: In a large frying pan, heat oil over medium heat, add onion and sauté 3 to 4 minutes. Add ground beef and salt. Once beef is almost cooked, add minced garlic. Cook an additional 3 minutes. Add 2 -1/4 tsp cumin and remove 1/2 lb beef and set aside. Add tomato sauce. Cook 3 minutes. Add oregano. Cook for 10 minutes, or until sauce is reduced. Place the beef in a bowl and set aside - There should now be two bowls of beef.
  • Enchilada Sauce: In the same pan in which the beef was cooked, add all ingredients except water and flour to a saucepan, scraping up any browned bits. Turn on heat, whisk until ingredients come to a boil. Reduce heat to low boil, cook 3 minutes. Put 5 TBs water in a small bowl. Add flour 1 TB at a time to bowl. Whisk so that there are no lumps. Turn sauce mixture up to high. Very slowly add water and flour mixture, whisking constantly so there are no lumps. After all the flour mixture is added, turn sauce to low boil, let thicken, continue to whisk for 1 minute.
  • To Assemble 12 ounces cheese (see MEXICAN CHEESES, below, or just use medium Cheddar cheese) Corn tortillas Vegetable oil ¼ cup finely chopped yellow onion Enchilada sauce (see above) Heat a ¼ inch coating of oil in a fry pan. Using tongs, dip tortillas in hot oil on both sides, briefly, so the tortillas are pliable, but not stiff. Dip each heated tortilla in a plate of warm enchilada sauce on both sides, to coat. Add a scoop of the Beef Enchilada Filling in a line across the center of each sauce-covered tortilla. Roll up each tortilla enchilada-style, place seam side down in a baking dish.
  • Heat in a 400 degree oven until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  • combine the chilli powder, paprika, garlic powder in a small dish. Part of this can be added to the meat while it is browing and the remainder to the sauce.
