Ingredients
- – 1 ½ cups (355 ml) cooked shredded beef
- – 2 cups (475 ml) easy enchilada sauce, divided
- – 8 corn or flour tortillas (see note if using flour tortillas)
- – 2 ½ cups (300 g) shredded Mexican-blend cheese, divided
- – salt and black pepper, to taste
- – optional toppings: diced onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream, shredded lettuce, feta cheese
Instructions
- Set your oven to a temperature of 350ºF to preheat. In a spacious mixing bowl, blend the shredded beef with ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce, along with a good sprinkle of salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients until well combined and taste the mixture, adjusting the seasoning with more salt and pepper if necessary.
- For corn tortillas: Enclose them in a moistened paper towel and warm them in the microwave for one minute, turning them midway until they become soft and pliable. For flour tortillas: Heat them on a plate in the microwave for one minute, flipping halfway through until they are warm and flexible.
- To prepare the enchiladas, distribute the beef mixture evenly among the tortillas, adding 1 cup of the shredded cheese to each. Roll each tortilla securely and arrange them seam side down in a large baking dish.
- Drizzle the remaining 1 ¾ cup enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, sprinkle with the remaining 1 ½ cups of shredded cheese, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Serve at once, adorning with your choice of toppings.
Notes
- Consider enhancing the flavor by adding diced onions or chopped cilantro to the beef mixture before rolling the enchiladas.
- To achieve a creamier texture, try incorporating a dollop of sour cream inside each tortilla before rolling.
- For a tangy twist, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top of the enchiladas before baking.
