Beef Enchilada Recipe
This has been my family’s favorite beef enchilada recipe for years! It makes a mighty delicious 30-minute meal that I can always depend on everyone loving! My beef enchilada recipe includes a few simple steps that make this the best recipe, in my opinion. From making my own homemade enchilada sauce or my easy blender enchilada sauce to seasoning the beef just perfectly to assembling and baking in the oven – it all just works. But, if you’d rather not make your own sauce, you can easily substitute your favorite enchilada sauce from the grocery store. Or, plan ahead and make a batch for keeping in the refrigerator until you are ready to make these a few days later.
How to Make Beef Enchiladas
For these Beef Enchiladas, you’ll need the following:
Ground beef Vegetable or Canola Oil Tortillas Sour Cream Cilantro (optional) Monterey Jack or Cheddar Cheese Enchilada Sauce
Brown. Brown ground beef over medium-low heat and drain to remove any excess drippings. Stir. Add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce to the browned ground beef and stir until well-combined. Preheat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of an oven-safe 9×13 casserole dish. Cook. Drizzle oil into a skillet over medium-low heat and cook tortillas one at a time for about 1 minute each. Don’t allow to become crispy. Assemble. Drain tortilla and layer on beef, sour cream, cheese, and cilantro. Roll tortilla to keep all ingredients inside. Then place seam side down in the casserole dish. Once all enchiladas have been assembled and placed into dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce over to make sure well-covered. Top with remaining cheese. Bake. Place in oven and bake 15 minutes, or until all cheese is fully melted. Serve. Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro, if desired, and serve.
