Beef Enchiladas

Refried Pinto Beans

Method

Beef Enchiladas Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion is translucent (about 3-4 minutes).

  2. 2

    Add the Ground Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through (about 7-10 minutes).

  3. 3

    Add Enchilada Sauce

    Once the beef is cooked, pour in the enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom. Take a corn tortilla, fill it with the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, roll it up and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  5. 5

    Top with Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  6. 6

    Bake

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

Rice Preparation

  1. 7

    Rinse the Rice

    Rinse the long-grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear.

  2. 8

    Cook the Rice

    In a pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.

Refried Pinto Beans Preparation

  1. 9

    Sauté Onion and Garlic

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, frying until the onion is soft and translucent (about 4 minutes).

  2. 10

    Add Pinto Beans

    Add the cooked pinto beans to the skillet, along with cumin powder, salt, and black pepper to taste. Mash the beans with a potato masher or fork, adjusting the consistency with a splash of water if needed.

  3. 11

    Cook the Beans

    Continue to cook the beans for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until heated through and creamy.
