Sunday Supper {Beef Enchiladas}

I shared the delicious Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas from Magnolia Table last week and I’m back today with the Beef Enchiladas!  I served them with a salad (will share that soon) and Mexican rice.  I have said it before and I’ll say it again… I am no food photographer.  Don’t let my photo turn you off because this meal was very good!

Beef Enchiladas

Source: Magnolia Table

Ingredients:
1 onion, chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1 T chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 cup canned or frozen diced Hatch or other green chiles
8 corn tortillas (I used 16 mini corn tortillas)
1.5 cups red enchilada sauce
2 cups grated Mexican blend cheese

Top with:
1/4 cup sliced green onions
sour cream

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tsp oil and stir in onion.  Cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes.  Add the beef and cook until no longer pink.  Pour off any extra liquid.  Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minutes.  Remove from heat and stir in green chiles.
  3. In a medium skillet, heat 2 T. oil over medium high heat until hot but not smoking.  Line a plate with paper towels.  Fry a tortilla for about 10 seconds on each side, using tongs to flip it.  Transfer to paper towels and very lightly season with salt.  Continue with remaining tortillas, stacking between paper towels.  Add more oil to the pan as needed.
  4. Spread 1/4 cup enchilada sauce in 9×13″ baking dish.  Pour about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce onto a plate.
  5. Working one tortilla at a time, coat the bottom in the sauce on the plate.  Spread the meat mixture down the center, sprinkle with cheese, and roll up.  Place seam side down in the dish.  Repeat with remaining ingredients.  Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  6. Bake until browned on top and bubbling around edges, about 30 minutes.  Let stand for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve warm with green onions and sour cream.

Overall, we really enjoyed this meal and had plenty of leftovers for the next night, which is important to me.  :-)  It was pretty involved with the corn tortilla frying and such so I wouldn’t try to do this one on a school night.

If you’ve started using the cookbook, and I know a lot of you have, let us know your favorites so far!!
