Beef Enchiladas (no beans)

Who doesn’t love cheesy, saucy enchiladas. I love enchiladas but do not care for beans so this recipe does not call for them. You can use shredded beef (which I think is best) but the easiest recipe just uses ground beef. I included a tasty enchilada sauce recipe but you can use a store bought sauce.

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make sauce: mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl. Add water to sauce if you want to thin it out.
- 2
Preheat oven to 400°F. Add oil to a skillet and heat on medium. Add onions, peppers, and jalapeños and cook until soft. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- 3
Add ground beef to skillet and cook while breaking up the meat. Add cayenne pepper, cumin, paprika, black pepper, salt, water, and 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce. Simmer for 10 minutes. You want flavors to mix and most of the liquid to cook off.
- 4
Take skillet off heat and mix in 1/2 of the cheese. Let cool down to make it easier to assemble the enchiladas.
- 5
Lightly spray oil on a 9”x13” baking dish. Pour some sauce (about a cup) into the baking dish to coat the bottom of the dish.
- 6
To make the tortillas more pliable (especially if using corn tortillas) heat them in a plastic bag in the microwave for about 20 seconds. Fill each tortilla with 1/2 cup of meat mixture and roll it up. Place each rolled tortilla seam down in the baking dish.
- 7
Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas and top with remaining shredded cheese. Place in oven and bake for about 20 minutes or until the cheese and sauce is bubbling.
- 8
Remove cooked enchiladas from the oven and let them cool. Plate the enchiladas, garnish with green onions and red pepper flakes, and enjoy a great Mexican meal.

I always double my recipe because everyone I make these for absolutely loves them! (NOTE: Using flour tortillas will make the enchiladas soggy!! They'll still taste good, but very soggy texture! That's why it calls for corn tortillas instead.) 🌶️🧅Veladryssa Lily🧄🥓 -
