How to Make Ground Beef Enchiladas With Red Sauce
- In a large saucepan, sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, in 2 tablespoons olive oil for 5 minutes until softened.
- Stir in 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies, 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, 6 ounces tomato paste, 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons chili powder, 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Let the sauce cool completely to room temperature.
- In a large skillet, brown 1 pound ground beef with 1/2 medium onion, chopped, until cooked through. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 (15 ounce) can of your choice of beans (black, pinto, kidney, chili, or omit), drained and rinsed, into the cooked beef.
- Add 2/3 cup of the cooled enchilada sauce to the beef mixture and stir well to combine.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Spread 1 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Fill each corn tortilla (approximately 12) with about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture.
- Place the filled tortillas seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil, sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with sour cream and salsa, if desired.
