How to Make Bean And Beef Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add the chopped onion and ground beef. Cook, breaking up the beef with a spoon, until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Stir in the refried beans, diced tomatoes and green chilies, chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix well and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Spray a 9x13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour 1/2 can of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan.
- Choose your method: Layered or Rolled (see steps below)
- **Layered Method:** Cut the tortillas into strips. Layer 1/3 of the tortilla strips, 1/2 of the beef and bean mixture, another 1/3 of the tortillas, 1 can of enchilada sauce, the remaining bean mixture, the remaining tortillas, and top with the remaining enchilada sauce.
- **Rolled Method:** Spoon a generous amount of the beef and bean mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly to enclose the filling. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking pan.
- For both methods: Top with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
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.
