Ingredients for Beef N Rice Enchiladas

  • Spanish Rice And Vermicelli Mix
  • Ground Beef
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce
  • Flour Tortillas
  • Cheddar Cheese

How to Make Beef N Rice Enchiladas

  1. Prepare the Spanish rice mix according to package directions. Set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until no longer pink.
  3. Drain off any excess grease from the cooked beef.
  4. Stir in the prepared Spanish rice and 1 ¼ cups of the enchilada sauce. Mix well to combine.
  5. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  6. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  7. Spoon about 2/3 cup of the beef and rice mixture down the center of each tortilla.
  8. Top each tortilla with 1/3 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  10. Pour the remaining 3/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
  12. Bake, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
