Meat Filling
Enchilada Assembly
Method
Prepare the Filling
Soak Guajillo Peppers
In a bowl, soak the guajillo peppers in hot water for about 15 minutes until soft. Drain and remove the stems and seeds.
Cook the Meat
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Blend the Sauce
In a blender, combine the soaked guajillo peppers, cilantro leaves, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth, adding a little water if necessary.
Combine Ingredients
Pour the blended sauce into the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Assemble the Enchiladas
Prepare the Tortillas
In a separate pan, briefly warm the corn tortillas over medium heat until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.
Fill the Tortillas
On each tortilla, place a generous amount of the beef filling and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly to enclose the filling.
Arrange in Baking Dish
Place the rolled tortillas seam side down in a greased baking dish. Pour the enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
