Beef Enchiladas

I love that there are so many beef enchiladas in the world.

It’s simply stuffed with ground beef, then topped with hot sauce and (plenty) cheese. Add peppers, beans, corn and nuts, and sometimes bacon for a tasty pairing. Secret vegetable version (don’t try this on me, I can see them from a mile away).

Ground Ground Enchiladas, Short Ribs.

Today I will tell you.
Made with

  • A simple homemade hot sauce that makes it better than store-bought;
  • Ground beef (ground beef), a full-flavored beef bean filling made with lots of Tex-Mex seasonings, refried beans, and black beans. Beans overloaded? Never! The refried beans add volume while keeping the filling nice and juicy, so we can have big, fatty enchiladas!

What you need for Beef Enchiladas

It’s what goes into my beef enchiladas.

Don’t forget some of these ingredients:

  • Roast beans—the “secret ingredient” for real mixed beef, so you can make big, hearty, hearty enchiladas that are as flavorful as they are juicy. I also use it in my chicken enchiladas – works great!
  • Black Beans – A little extra and adds texture to the filling. Vegetables are a good addition – especially paprika/chili.
  • Homemade Burrito Sauce – made with tomato passata or canned tomato sauce (US, I like Hunts) with lots of Tex-Mex seasonings.
    Beef – This is a beef enchilada recipe, so it’s made with ground beef. But pork can be replaced with chicken or turkey!

Here’s my time-saving tip: Season the ground beef and salsa with a spice mix.

How to make Beef Enchiladas

This one has great Tex-Mex seasoning in it! Some of it is used in homemade sauce, the rest is used to make stuffed beef and beans.

TRY THESE ON THE SIDE

  • Avocado Corn Salad
  • Grilled Corn or try this Mexican Corn
  • Daily Slaw
  • Broccoli Salad

Pico de Gallo (Authentic Mexican Salsa)
4 4 Beef Enchiladas. “These are the best!” I really hate to say things like. As with all my recipes, what I consider “best” may not be to everyone’s taste, as we all have different palettes.

But the truth is, for me, even after I’ve had more enchiladas than my fair share at Tex-Mex restaurants in the US, I still think these are better.
Much better than mainstream restaurants!

Happy Holidays!

Notes

You can use whole onion or garlic powder if you only have one of these. Fresh garlic is not the same, but as a final change, you can use 3 cloves of minced garlic instead of onion and garlic powder. Saute in hot oil before starting the recipe. One Tomato Passata is pure tomato puree without spices. Unlike tomatoes, it is thick and creamy like dense tomato juice. It is available in bottles in the pasta aisle of large supermarkets (Coles, Woolworths) in Australia. You can easily make your own by pureeing canned tomatoes with a blender. America: If you can't find passata in America (available at Walmart, Costco), a good substitute is U.S. canned tomato paste like Hunts (yes, I'm a food junkie, I brought back cans for this recipe, a near-perfect replacement). Black beans are often used in Mexican and Tex Mex dishes. It is becoming more common in Australia. It can be purchased from the Mexican beans or canned bean aisle at most supermarkets, including Harris Farms and Thomas Dux. You can substitute kidney beans or other types of beans if you wish. Fried beans should be loose and stir easily when heated. If not, add some water. I put a baking sheet on the baking sheet for baking. Otherwise, cover it with foil. Before cooking, roll the enchiladas in the casserole (you can rub the sauce on the bottom). Divide the sauce and serve on top before cooking one. One serving of food, assuming you're using ground beef (this is a great recipe for using ground beef, you never know!)
