From Ash’s recipe collection

35 minsServes 4-6 servings

Ingredients

Method

  1. 1

    If you're making homemade enchilada sauce, prepare it.

  2. 2

    Preheat oven to 350°F.

  3. 3

    Add oil to a big skillet and heat over medium high heat. Add ground beef and crumble (use a potato masher to make it easier). Once ground beef is about halfway cooked, add onion, garlic, and green chiles and saute for 3-6 minutes, stirring occasionally. Drain beef mixture.

  4. 4

    To make the enchiladas, spread a couple of tablespoons of the enchilada sauce over the tortilla. Add beans in a line down the middle of the tortilla, then add in a spoonful of the beef mixture, drizzle some extra enchilada sauce over the meat, then add ⅓ cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in a greased 9 x 13" baking pan. Continue with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, broiling the last few minutes if you want the cheese to be a more golden brown. Garnish with chopped cilantro and green onions.

Recipe notes

** you could easily swap out ground turkey, diced chicken, pre-cooked shredded chicken or all beans for the beef in this recipe.
