Enchiladas and Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef or shredded chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla, add a portion of the meat filling, a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchilada seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Top with Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the red enchilada sauce over the assembled enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sides

    While the enchiladas are baking, heat the cooked rice and refried beans in separate pots. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once the enchiladas are done baking, remove from the oven. Serve hot, topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream, alongside rice and beans.
