We love to whip up these enchiladas with a side of Canned Refried Beans or Crockpot Spanish Rice.
Another Mexican Dish to Love!
We are big fans of Mexican food here in our house and it’s what’s for dinner at least twice a week. We have plenty of enchiladas here on our site, like our class Chicken Enchiladas and shredded Beef Enchiladas but we wanted to add another meat to make ground beef enchiladas! These enchiladas are a huge hit for our extended family Mexican feasts and parties! Why we love them:
Flavorful sauce. The homemade enchilada sauce adds flavor and authenticity. And it’s made from scratch with simple ingredients! Pantry staples. These ground beef enchiladas use a staple protein that we always have on hand. Freeze for later. You may want to double the recipe and freeze a batch for a Quick Dinner because these are delicious!
Ingredients
cooked ground beef – I try to stick to an 85/15 fat content. Ground turkey or ground chicken can also be used. vegetable oil all-purpose flour Gebhardt Chili Powder – For a milder sauce, decrease the chili powder. For a spicier sauce, increase the amount used or use a spicier brand of chili powder such as ancho chili powder or chipotle chili powder. garlic powder oregano salt cumin chicken broth – or chicken stock flour tortillas – Use cooked Flour Tortillas. The brand you choose will determine the thickness and overall texture of the dish. You can also use corn tortillas. shredded Mexican Blend cheese – Use Colby jack, mozzarella, or cheddar cheese
