Benefits Of These Easy Beef Enchiladas
You may have your own recipe or a favorite place you frequent for enchiladas, but there are many pluses to making them yourself.
You can:
- eat at home while feeding up to 8 people, economically (makes a great party food)
- adjust the recipe by adding your favorite ingredients (black olives, jalapenos, pico de gallo, etc.)
- make a complete meal topping them with lettuce and other salad items along with salsa and sour cream
A Simple Recipe
All it takes are four ingredients to layer on a large tortilla. Then roll them up and place them in a baking dish seam side down.
Start off with browning the ground meat and seasoning them with my Best Homemade Taco Seasoning Mix. Making your own taco seasoning gives a fresher and more robust taste compared to pre-packaged mixes.
I use the Mexican Style 4 Cheese blend inside and outside of these enchiladas. My Mama introduced me to this cheese, saying it's the best, and she's right. I now use it in most casserole recipes that call for shredded cheese. It melts easily with just the right amount of ooey-gooey cheese pull with every bite. The kind that makes your mouth water!
After filling the baking dish with the stuffed and rolled tortillas, pour the green and red enchilada sauces on them and top with more cheese and green chiles. Then bake the dish until the cheese is melted and it's all bubbly on the edges. Now they're ready to serve!
Here's a tip: To save time, you can prepare the tortillas as directed in the recipe below, lay them in a casserole dish, and place them in the refrigerator. Next, add the sauce and cheese right before it's time to bake. This keeps the tortillas from getting too soggy from the sauce.
