How to Make Lower Fat Beef Enchiladas
- Brown 1 lb 93% lean ground beef, 1 medium onion (chopped), and 1 jalapeno pepper (seeded and minced) in a large skillet over medium-high heat until beef is cooked through and onions are softened.
- Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in 1 tbsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste, 1 cup enchilada sauce, and 1 cup shredded part-skim Monterey Jack cheese. Mix well.
- Fill 12 corn or low-carb tortillas with the beef mixture.
- Place seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Pour remaining 1 cup enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup shredded part-skim Monterey Jack cheese.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- Garnish with your favorite toppings like fresh salsa, chopped green onions, or a dollop of low-fat sour cream before serving.
