How to Make Anasazi Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion and 2 cloves minced garlic; sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in 1 pound ground beef or turkey; cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup heavy cream, and 1/4 cup chopped cilantro.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Fill each corn tortilla (approximately 12) with about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in the baking dish.
- Pour the chicken broth mixture evenly over the enchiladas.
- Top with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup extra enchilada sauce.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra cilantro, if desired.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
