Beef Cheese Enchiladas
My son needed an enchilada recipe for his food science class. He wanted my recipe, but i don't use a recipe per se'. I have guestimated here and i think it should be pretty close to what i make. My enchiladas are comfort food. We have these for new years because we are usually tired of turkey and ham by then. These can be made all beef or all cheese.
Steps
Brown ground beef with onion and garlic salt just until pink is gone.
Remove beef from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet heat the oil.
Add the next 11 ingredients and stir over heat until bubbly and spices have released their fragrance.
Stir in tomato puree , and stir till well blended.
Stir in broth and water.
Bring to a boil and lower heat.
Taste and adjust seasoning.
Leave to simmer until slightly thickened.
Preheat oven to 400.
In a casserole dish spoon a couple of tablespoons of the sauce to coat bottom.
Pick up one tortilla with tongs and dredge the tortilla through the sauce.
Leave the tortilla submerged just enough to soften but not fall apart.
Lay tortilla in the casserole and spoon 1 / 12 of the beef mixture & 1 / 12 of the jack cheese.
Roll the tortilla over the filling and lay seam side down in the casserole.
Repeat with the rest of the tortillas.
Pour remaining sauce over all the enchiladas.
Sprinkle the cheddar over the top of the casserole.
