Easy Enchilada Recipe

Easy EnchiladasThis is a simple recipe for enchiladas that I have made several times.  It’s quick and easy.  I sometimes make it ahead of time and refrigerate for a few hours before baking.

 

Ingredients:

 

1 pound ground beef

1 can Rotel Diced Tomatoes (whatever flavor you like, I use mild)

8-10 Flour Tortillas

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar (divided)

1 can of enchilada sauce (medium size)

Optional for Toppings:  Sour Cream and Chopped Green Onions

 

 

Instructions:

 

  1. Brown the ground beef and drain the fat off.
  2. Add the can of Rotel and let the beef and Rotel simmer until the juice is gone.
  3. Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray
  4. Begin by placing one of the tortillas in the pan and putting the beef/rotel mixture on the tortilla – not quite in the center.  Don’t over-fill, use about 3 tablespoons of the filling mixture
  5. Sprinkle cheese on top of the filling mixture and roll up the tortilla
  6. Place the seam side down in the pan
  7. Repeat until the filling is gone and hopefully your pan is full
  8. Pour the enchilada sauce of the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top
  9. Bake at 350º for approximately 30 minutes – until bubbly and golden.
  10. Top with sour cream and chopped green onions

[…] Enchiladas—You can make these as complicated as you want, but if all you have on hand is red sauce, cheese, and tortillas–well that’s okay too.  I will put chicken breasts in the crock pot on low for most of the day and then shred them in my stand mixer.  It doesn’t get much easier than this!
