Enchilada Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Aromatics

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Mix in Tomatoes and Spices

    Stir in canned diced tomatoes, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Make the Enchilada Sauce

  1. 4

    Cook the Roux

    In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute until it becomes a light golden color.

  2. 5

    Add Spices and Liquids

    Stir in chili powder, canned tomato sauce, and vegetable broth. Continue to whisk until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

  3. 6

    Season the Sauce

    Add salt, ground cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, and sugar. Let simmer for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Assemble and Bake

  1. 7

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 8

    Fill the Tortillas

    In a tortilla, place a spoonful of the beef filling and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a baking dish.

  3. 9

    Repeat the Process

    Repeat for all tortillas, placing them side by side in the baking dish.

  4. 10

    Top with Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top.

  5. 11

    Bake

    Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve

  1. 12

    Garnish and Serve

    Allow the enchiladas to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or sour cream if desired.
