Method

Cheese Enchiladas

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent.

Assemble Enchiladas

In a bowl, mix the sautéed onion and garlic with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Take a corn tortilla, place 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center, roll it up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.

Add Sauce

Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Beef Tacos

Cook Ground Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.

Add Seasoning

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Prepare Taco Shells

While the beef is cooking, prepare taco shells according to package directions.

Assemble Tacos

Fill each taco shell with the seasoned beef, then top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheddar cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.

Rice & Beans

Cook the Rice

In a pot, bring the chicken or vegetable broth to a boil. Add the rice, cover, and reduce heat to low. Simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked.

Mix in Beans

Once the rice is cooked, stir in the drained black beans, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it heat through for an additional 5 minutes.
