Beef and Cheese Enchiladas
One day my family was coming over for dinner and asked for enchiladas. Thankfully I had been frquently making vegan enchiladas for a friend of mine so I had a recipe that just needed a few ingredient changes. This has become one of my husband's favorite meals.
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, chopped
1 pound ground beef16 ounces refried beans
14 1/2 ounces fire roasted diced tomatoes, drained1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin
6 large flour tortillas
2 cups mexican blend cheese
enchilada sauce
Directions
In a large saute pan, over medium heat, heat oil. Add onions to pan. Cook for 5 minutes
Add ground beef to pan. Mix with onions. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking meat up with a spoon until it is crumbled and browned.
Add refried beans, tomatoes, salt, pepper, chili powder and cumin to beef. Mix well. Reduce heat to medium low. Cook for 5 minutes. Add 1 cup of Mexican cheese. Mix well. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes.
Place 1/6 of the filling in the center of each tortilla in a straight line across the tortilla. Fold both sides in. Fold bottom up over filling so it looks like an envelope. Roll up the tortilla, keeping the sides tucked in.
Place enchiladas in a baking sheet. Cover with enchilada sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese over the top of the enchiladas. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
