Jim's Ground Beef Enchiladas
Recipe Type
Beef, Casserole, Main Dish, Meat, Mexican
1 lb ground beef chuck (80% lean)
½ cup chopped onion
20 ounces MILD or Medium enchilada
sauce
¼ cup water
1 Tbsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp coriander
½ tsp cilantro flakes
8 corn tortillas (about6-7 inches in diameter)
½ cup Mexican blend cheese, shredded, 2%
milk
Chili Sauce for Enchiladas recipe, optional
1 Brown beef with onion in large skillet. While meat and onion are browning, whisk enchilada sauce, water, chili powder,
cumin, garlic powder, coriander, and cilantro flakes together in a bowl or large measuring cup.
2 Bring a little oil about 1/4" deep to a shimmer in a small sauté skillet on stove top using medium high heat. Cook each tortilla
in the hot oil for about ten seconds each, draining on paper towels or on a metal rack until cool enough to handle.
3 When meat is browned, drain off grease and add ½ cup of enchilada sauce mixture, stirring until mixed.
4 In 7" x12" baking pan coated with PAM cooking spray, pour just enough sauce in the bottom to coat the bottom of the pan.
5 Fill each tortilla down the middle with about ¼ cup meat mixture. Roll tortillas and line them up seam side down in pan. Pour
remaining sauce over enchiladas.
6 Sprinkle cheese over enchiladas. Cover and bake in 350° oven for 20 minutes, then remove cover and bake 10 more minutes,
or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.

Tips
I highly recommend my Chili Sauce for Enchiladas recipe, which can be found under the Condiments tab or chapter. Side dishes
that may go well with these enchiladas are Mexican-style rice, Mexican-style whole pinto beans, or Ranch Style beans.

Reviews
This is my sixth revision of ground beef enchiladas, and comes closer to the taste and texture I wanted than any
of them except the Authentic Beef Enchiladas recipe, which used flank or blade steak. I was attempting to
shorten the process of making enchiladas by using ground beef, and I believe this is a success! - Jim Ashberry
