Best Stacked Enchiladas With Jalapeno Mushroom Enchilada Sauce Recipes

NEW MEXICO-STYLE STACKED ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Place enchilada sauce in a small saucepan and cook over medium, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and simmer to keep warm.
• Meanwhile, heat oil in a medium nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium-high. Cook tortillas, one at a time, until just starting to change color, but are still limp and pliable, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Pour all but 2 tablespoons oil from skillet to a heat-proof bowl; discard when cool. Reserve 2 tablespoons oil in skillet off heat.
• Dip one tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Place tortilla on an oven-safe plate or baking sheet. Spoon about 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with about 3 tablespoons cheese. Dip a second tortilla in warm enchilada sauce, so that sauce lightly coats both sides. Layer tortilla on top of first tortilla on plate or baking sheet. Spoon another 2 tablespoons sauce over tortilla, then sprinkle with another 3 tablespoons cheese. Repeat process with remaining tortillas, sauce, and cheese so that you have 4 total enchilada stacks. Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 7 to 9 minutes.
• While enchiladas are baking, heat reserved 2 tablespoons oil in skillet over medium. Add 2 eggs to oil in skillet; season with half of salt. Cook eggs until desired degree of doneness, about 2 to 3 minutes per side for over-easy. Transfer to a plate once cooked; set aside. Repeat with remaining eggs and salt.
• When cheese is melted, remove enchiladas from oven. Top each stack with one egg and garnish evenly with cilantro, tomato, onion, and lettuce.

STACKED BEEF ENCHILADAS (AKA MEXICAN LASAGNA)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and the baking soda. Mix with your hands until evenly combined. Let sit on the counter for 20 to 30 minutes.
• While the beef sits, prepare the sauce. Set an oven rack about 5 inches beneath the heating element and preheat the broiler. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Toss the tomatoes, onions, and garlic with the vegetable oil directly on the prepared baking sheet. Broil until softened and charred, 12 to15 minutes (if the vegetables are browning too quickly, give them a quick stir with a rubber spatula). Transfer the vegetables and juices to a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Add the salt, cumin, and cayenne pepper and pulse until just slightly chunky. Add the cilantro and pulse until the cilantro is chopped. Set the sauce aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the beef and cook, stirring frequently and breaking into pieces, until just slightly pink, about 2 minutes. Add the chili powder, cumin, and salt and cook, stirring occasionally, for 4 to 5 minutes more, or until cooked through.
• To assemble: Preheat oven to 350°F and move the oven rack to the center position. Lightly oil a 9x13-in glass or ceramic baking dish.
• Set aside 1 cup of the sauce for the top of the casserole. (You want to ensure that you have enough to cover the top layer of tortillas, otherwise they won't cook through.)
• Line the bottom of the prepared baking dish with a layer of tortillas, overlapping them slightly. Spoon half of the beef (and any juices) over the tortillas. Top with half of the sauce and ⅓ of the cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, the remaining beef, remaining sauce, and ⅓ of the cheese. Top with the remaining tortillas. Spread the reserved sauce over the tortillas and cover completely. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over top. Bake, uncovered, for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the casserole is heated through and the cheese is completely melted.
• Note: Chipotle chili powder is smoky and hot and makes this dish a little spicy. For a milder dish, replace the chipotle chili powder with ancho chili powder, which isn't as hot.
• MAKE-AHEAD/FREEZER-FRIENDLY INSTRUCTIONS: The casserole can be prepared ahead of time, tightly covered with foil, and refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for up to 3 months before baking (if frozen, defrost in the refrigerator before cooking). It can also be fully baked, tightly covered with foil, and refrigerated for up to two days or frozen for up to 3 months. To reheat: defrost if necessary and heat the covered casserole in a 350°F oven for about 30 minutes, or until hot. If you'd rather reheat individual servings, small portions can be zapped in the microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.
