BEEF & CHEESE ENCHILADAS | JUST A PINCH RECIPES



Beef & Cheese Enchiladas | Just A Pinch Recipes image

If you love Mexican food, these enchiladas are a must. The sauce is full of Mexican flavor and slightly spicy. It makes the whole house smell like a Mexican restaurant. Coating the corn tortillas in sauce not only softens them but allows them to soak up all the sauce flavor. What meat you use in this recipe is up to you (we used shredded beef since that's what in the name). The sauce is where it's at for this enchilada recipe.

Prep Time 1 hours

Cook Time 1 hours 40 minutes

Number Of Ingredients 17

- corn tortillas for the amount of enchiladas there should be enough sauce to make 3-4 dozen
2 cup(s) shredded cheddar cheese per dozen enchiladas
ENCHILADA SAUCE
2 tablespoon(s) olive oil
2-3 clove(s) garlic, minced
1 medium yellow or white onion, diced
1 teaspoon(s) oregano (I used Mexican oregano but regular is fine)
3 tablespoon(s) chili powder
1/2 teaspoon(s) basil
2 teaspoon(s) cumin
1 teaspoon(s) chipotle chili pepper (this is spicy, it can be reduced to taste)
2-3 teaspoon(s) salt
1 teaspoon(s) black pepper
1 can(s) tomato sauce, 8 oz.
4-5 cup(s) water, divided
- meat, you can use any meat - ground meat, shredded chicken
diced onions to top enchiladas (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, cook onions and garlic in the olive oil until onions are clear on medium heat.
  • Gather seasoning and measure them out while onions and garlic are cooking.
  • Add tomato sauce, 3 cups of water, and all the seasoning.
  • Bring to a boil and reduce heat to low. Simmer for 45 minutes adding more water as needed, stirring about every 15 minutes. I usually add 1- 2 more cups in the cooking process. At the end you should have a thick flavorful sauce.
  • Allow sauce to cool a bit. Prepare a large pan by spraying it with non-stick cooking spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Dip corn tortillas in sauce making sure they covered well on each side. This will soften them a bit and make rolling easier.
  • Place a small amount of meat and cheese in the center of the corn tortilla.
  • Roll the tortilla and place it seam down in the pan.
  • When you have made the desired amount of enchiladas top with 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce per 11-12 enchiladas. You can put more sauce but don't put too much or they will be soggy.
  • Top with optional diced onions and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese per 11-12 enchiladas.
  • Bake covered for about 40 min.
  • Uncover and bake another 10 min.
  • Serve with rice and beans and enjoy!
  • Freeze any unused sauce in a covered container.

Total Time 1 hours 15 minutes

Prep Time 1 hours 0 minutes

Cook Time 15 minutes

Yield 16 enchiladas, 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken breast
Salt and pepper
2 teaspoons cumin powder
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon Mexican Spice Blend
1 red onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
5 canned whole green chiles, seeded and coarsely chopped
4 canned chipotle chiles, seeded and minced
1 (28-ounce) can stewed tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon all-purpose flour
16 corn tortillas
1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce, canned
1 cup shredded Cheddar and Jack cheeses
Garnish: chopped cilantro leaves, chopped scallions, sour cream, chopped tomatoes

Steps:

  • Coat large saute pan with oil. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Brown chicken over medium heat, allow 7 minutes each side or until no longer pink. Sprinkle chicken with cumin, garlic powder and Mexican spices before turning. Remove chicken to a platter, allow to cool.
  • Saute onion and garlic in chicken drippings until tender. Add corn and chiles. Stir well to combine. Add canned tomatoes, saute 1 minute.
  • Pull chicken breasts apart by hand into shredded strips. Add shredded chicken to saute pan, combine with vegetables. Dust the mixture with flour to help set.
  • Microwave tortillas on high for 30 seconds. This softens them and makes them more pliable. Coat the bottom of 2 (13 by 9-inch) pans with a ladle of enchilada sauce. Using a large shallow bowl, dip each tortilla in enchilada sauce to lightly coat. Spoon 1/4 cup chicken mixture in each tortilla. Fold over filling, place 8 enchiladas in each pan with seam side down. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
  • Bake for 15 minutes in a preheated 350 degree F oven until cheese melts. Garnish with cilantro, scallion, sour cream and chopped tomatoes before serving. Serve with Spanish rice and beans.
