Beef Enchiladas

🇲🇽 Mexican

Rolled corn tortillas filled with cumin-spiced beef, drowned in red enchilada sauce and baked under a blanket of melted cheese.

Prep 25 min Cook 30 min Serves 5 Medium

Ingredients

  • Onion1, diced
  • Garlic2 cloves, minced
  • Fresh Cilantrofor garnish
  • Olive Oil2 tbsp
  • Ground Beef500 g
  • Tomato Paste2 tbsp
  • Corn Tortillas10
  • Cheddar Cheese2 cups, shredded
  • Sour Creamfor serving
  • Ground Cumin1 tsp
  • Enchilada Sauce2 cups
  • Chili Powder1 tbsp

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Brown beef with onion and garlic, then stir in chili powder, cumin and tomato paste. Cook 2 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1 cup cheese into the beef. This binds the filling.

  3. 3

    Warm the tortillas briefly so they roll without cracking.

  4. 4

    Spoon filling down each tortilla, roll tightly and place seam-down in a greased baking dish.

  5. 5

    Pour remaining sauce over the rolls so every tortilla is covered, then shower with remaining cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden. Rest 5 minutes, then top with sour cream and cilantro.

Chef's tip

Sauce every corner of the tortillas — any dry patch will turn leathery and hard in the oven.
