How to Make Ground Beef And Texas Bean Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
  3. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the salt, pepper, diced tomatoes, peppers (or chilies), and pinto beans. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. While the beef mixture simmers, prepare the sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Stir about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture. Remove from heat.
  7. To assemble, gently dip each corn tortilla into the enchilada sauce to coat thoroughly.
  8. Lay the soaked tortilla in a greased 9x13 inch baking pan. Add one serving spoon of the meat mixture lengthwise along one end of the tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
  9. Place the rolled enchilada seam-down in the baking pan to prevent spillage. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  10. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
  11. Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
  12. Remove the foil, sprinkle generously with shredded cheddar cheese, and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  13. For easy serving, slice the enchiladas in half lengthwise before serving.
  14. Serve immediately with rice, sour cream, guacamole, and your favorite corn chips.
