My Famous Enchiladas image

My mom used to make a very simplified version of this recipe. I've just changed it over the years to what it is now...It's always a work in progress.

Time 35m

Yield 10 enchiladas, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb lean ground beef
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1/2 medium onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2 (9 ounce) cans red enchilada sauce
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 (6 7/8 ounce) package Spanish rice, cooked
100 inches flour tortillas
salt and pepper
1/2 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Heat Oven to 400 degrees f.
  • While oven is warming up, brown beef with the minced garlic and then drain. Add refried beans to beef and mix well. Add the red and green peppers, onions and 1 can of enchilada sauce and mix well. Season to taste with Salt, pepper and crushed red peppers.
  • Take tortilla and place whatever amount of rice you want in center. Place a heaping spoonful of beef mixture ontop of rice. Sprinkle with cheese, wrap and place in either a baking dish or a deep tray. Continue until all ingrediants are used up or you run out of tortillas. If you run out of tortillas before mixture is gone, poor remaining mixture over the top of the enchiladas.
  • Pour remaining can of enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and bake in oven for 10 minutes. Add cheese ontop of the enchiladas and bake another 5 minutes until edges are brown and cheese is melted. Let cool before serving.
  • I usually serve these with shredded lettuce and sour cream.
