Enchilada Sauce

2 tbs olive oil

1 medium Onion, diced

3 cloves Garlic, minced

15 oz Tomato sauce

1 tbs Chili powder

1 tbs Cumin

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

1 tsp white, green, and black pepper

Method

Preparing the Taco Filling

Cook the Beef

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

Add Seasoning

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn kernels, and chopped cilantro. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.

Making the Enchilada Sauce

Sauté Onions and Garlic

In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Add Remaining Sauce Ingredients

Stir in the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat.

Assembling the Enchilada Tacos

Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.

Fill the Tacos

Spoon a generous amount of the taco filling onto each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.

Add Enchilada Sauce

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tacos, ensuring they are well covered.

Top with Cheese

Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the sauce.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the dish for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then serve with sour cream and sliced jalapeños on the side.
