Beef Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium size mixing bowl, add shredded beef and diced onions, mix well and set aside.
• In a medium size sauce pan, add the oil, flour, and chili powder. Turn to medium heat and whisk the ingredients together.
• Continue to whisk as the mixture begins to boil for one minute, then whisk in the water, tomato paste, cumin, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until smooth. Allow the sauce to come up to a simmer. Once it reaches a simmering boil it will begin to thicken slightly after about 20 to 30 minutes.
• Add salt to taste and 1/4 teaspoon sugar, mix to combine and then add about 1/4 cup of sauce to the shredded beef mixture and stir to combine. Set aside remaining sauce for enchiladas.
• In a small size skillet, add oil to medium-high heat. Gently add one tortilla at a time and fry to a semi soft stage. Dab each tortilla with paper towels to remove excess oil.
• As each tortilla is fried and dabbed with paper towels, stack them to keep them soft for rolling.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease or spray with a nonstick cooking spray a 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
• Lay (one at a time) fried tortilla on a flat surface, add about 2 tablespoons shredded beef mixture to the middle of the fried tortilla and top with about 1 teaspoon shredded cheese.
• Roll the tortilla tightly and place in the baking dish (seam side down). Repeat until all 12 tortillas are filled. (For best results, line the enchiladas into two rows of 6).
• Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the filled tortillas, and then add remaining shredded cheese evenly to the top of the sauce and top with the sliced olives.
• Cover baking dish with foil and bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until bubbly and hot. Serve with sour cream, optional.
• Makes: 6 servings.

Steps:

• Brown meat in a skillet, stirring to break into crumbles.
• Add bell peppers and cook for 2 minutes.
• Drain and add taco seasoning with 1/2 cup water.
• Simmer uncovered for 5 minutes or until sauce gets thick, strirring occasionally to prevent sticking on the botoom.
• Spoon about 1/3 cup cup meat mixture evenly down center of each tortilla.
• Sprinkle with 2 tbsp cheese.
• Roll up and place seam side down in greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
• Spoon salsa evenly over enchiladas.
• Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 18 minutes or until heated through.
• Uncover and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Bake until cheese is melted.
• Serve lettuce, tomatoes and sour cream on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray bottoms & sides of two 9"x13" baking dishes with non-stick cooking spray; coat bottom of each dish with 1 cup enchilada sauce; set aside.
• In large skillet, brown ground beef; add salt & pepper, drain and set aside.
• Place cheeses in medium bowl and mix together.
• Place chopped onion in small bowl.
• Place browned meat in a medium bowl; rinse and wipe the skillet for re-use.
• Place the skillet back on the burner on a very low setting. Fill with 2 cups enchilada sauce.
• In a deep skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Use enough to be about 1" deep. The oil is ready for frying the tortillas when the edge of a tortilla dipped in the oil sizzles on contact.
• Using tongs, place a tortilla in the hot oil, turning it quickly so it doesn't burn (don't worry if it starts to bubble).
• Remove the fried tortilla to the skillet containing the sauce and lay it flat. Using tongs, flip it a few times to coat both sides with sauce. The tortilla will become very limp.
• Place the fried saucy tortilla into one of the baking dishes. Prop it open to receive fillings.
• Fill with approximately 1/4 cup meat, 1 tablespoon chopped onions and 1/2 cup cheese.
• Using your hands (be careful, it will be hot), fold the tortilla around the fillings and place it seam-side down into the dish to form an enchilada. Repeat until all tortillas have been fried, sauced and filled.
• Once the dishes are full of enchiladas, divide the remaining sauce between the two dishes and pour enough of it over the enchiladas to barely cover them.
• Spread the cheese down the center of the enchiladas in each dish, dividing the cheese equally between the two dishes. (Use as much or as little of the cheese as you wish.).
• Sprinkle the black olives over the cheese.
• Bake for approximately 30 minutes or until bubbly. (Watch that the cheese doesn't burn. If it starts to brown too much, cover loosely with non-stick aluminum foil.).
• Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, the onion and pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, five-spice, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, olives and raisins. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the remaining oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shimmering, heat the tortillas, one at a time, in the hot oil until they bubble and darken slightly, about 10 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels. Spread about 1/2 cup ground beef picadillo mixture on the bottom of a 9 -by-13-inch baking dish. Put about 1/4 cup picadillo and 1 tablespoon Cheddar down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and lay them in the baking dish, seam side down. Spoon the rest of the picadillo over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake the enchiladas until the tortillas are slightly crisp and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the canola oil and flour. Whisk together and allow to bubble for 1 minute. Pour in the red sauce, chicken broth, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer while you prepare the other ingredients.
• While the sauce is simmering, brown the ground beef with the onions in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the fat, add the salt and stir to combine. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• In a small skillet over medium heat, heat some canola oil. Lightly fry the tortillas just until soft. Do not crisp. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat until all the tortillas have been fried.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread 1/2 cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Next, one at a time, dip each tortilla into the sauce. Set the sauce-soaked tortilla on a plate. Place on some of the meat mixture, chilies, green onions and black olives. Top with a generous portion of grated Cheddar. Roll up the tortilla to contain the filling inside.
• Place the tortilla seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the rest of the tortillas and pour the remaining sauce over the top. End with a generous sprinkling of cheese and any other bits of chiles, green onions or olives you have left over from the filling.
• Bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top and serve.

Steps:

Add 1/4 cup water, the beef bouillon, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Continue to cook until you have the consistency for the gravy, another 5 minutes.
• For the enchiladas: Heat a griddle or grill on medium heat. Spray cooking spray or put oil on griddle. Place tortillas on griddle until pliable for folding, about 15 seconds.
• Place tortillas on a flat surface. Add meat to a tortilla and roll up, keeping the seam side down. Place on a microwave/oven-safe plate. Repeat until all tortillas are used.
