How to Make Beef Enchiladas
- Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain off any excess grease.
- Add 1 medium onion (chopped), 1 green bell pepper (chopped), 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies (Rotel), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder to the skillet. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
- Fill each tortilla with approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture.
- Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-down in a greased 13x9 inch baking dish.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- For the sauce: In a separate saucepan, sauté 1/2 medium onion (chopped) and 1/2 green bell pepper (chopped) in 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil until softened.
- Stir in 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce, 1/2 cup beef broth, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Mix well.
- Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese over the enchiladas and bake for an additional 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
