Saucy enchiladas
I love a recipe that uses up leftovers and this one is a mash-up of a not-so-secret sauce, leftover meat, and easy assembly of ingredients. I'm more than weenie when it comes to heat/spicy foods, so feel free to spice it up!

Steps
- 1
Heat the oil in a large pan and add flour-whisk for 1-2 minutes.
- 2
Add the chili powder, garlic, salt, cumin, and oregano and stir until it's a paste. I don't use all 4Tbsp of chili powder because I can't handle that much heat. I usually only add 1Tbsp-but again I am a weenie.
- 3
Gradually add the stock and bullion cubes, stirring constantly to prevent clumps and ensure cubes are dissolved.
- 4
Lower heat and reduce sauce by 1/4.
- 5
Take your leftover meat and shred or finely dice it.
- 6
Mix with the meat the refried beans and all the extras you wish to add. It's a great way to clean out the fridge or even sneak in some extra veggies!
- 7
Take a tortilla and place a large spoonful of meat mixture close to one end and roll it up. Make sure as you roll it, the filling spreads towards the ends. Place in a greased 9x13 pan and repeat until all tortillas are rolled and it the pan.
- 8
Pour sauce over enchiladas and use a spoon or fork to gently nudge the enchiladas to allow the sauce to get in between and in the ends.
- 9
Cover with foil and bake 30, remove foil and cover with extra cheese and put back in the oven until melted.
- 10
Now, if you are like me and greatly overestimate how much filling you will use, there might be some leftover. I either make a 2nd pan (doubling the sauce recipe) and then freeze the 2nd pan, or freeze the filling itself in a freezer bag (just make sure you label it).

I hope you enjoy!
