Texmex Chili Cheese Enchiladas Recipes

TEX MEX ENCHILADAS WITH CHILI GRAVY RECIPE

Steps:

• Brown the 80/20 ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. When browned add chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes. (If you use leaner ground beef, you will need to add a couple of tablespoons of oil.)
• Add chili powder, cumin, oregano (Mexican oregano preferably), garlic powder, salt, and pepper and stir until seasoning covers all of the ground beef.
• Add the flour and stir in with the seasoned ground beef.
• Pour in the chicken broth and bring it up to a boil. Then lower the heat and let it simmer for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When it thickens up, then it is ready to pour over the cheese enchiladas.
• Meanwhile, heat the corn tortillas in a little oil in a hot skillet or griddle over medium heat. You want to just heat the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side, just until the corn tortillas are soft but not long enough to fry them. When the corn tortillas are soft and pliable, then remove them, drain any excess oil, and place either in a tortilla warmer or on a plate with paper towels.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Ladle about a half cup of the chili gravy into the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
• Add about 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese on the lower third of a corn tortilla. Then tightly roll the corn tortilla around the cheese and place seam side down in the 9x13 baking dish. Repeat until you have rolled all enchiladas.
• Pour the remaining chili gravy over the enchiladas, and sprinkle about 1 cup of shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
• Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes.
• Serve the enchiladas hot, and top with chopped onions or chopped cilantro just before serving.

TEX-MEX BEEF AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Heat the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring to crumble, until no longer pink. Drain off grease and season with chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Mix in the tomato sauce and 2 cups of the water. Simmer over low heat. Mix the remaining water with the flour and sugar until flour is dissolved; stir into the simmering meat sauce. Simmer until thickened, about 10 minutes.
• While the sauce is cooking, heat oil in another skillet over medium-high heat. Warm tortillas in the hot oil until pliable. Fill each tortilla with a little bit of cheese, and place in a 9x13 inch baking dish, reserving some of the cheese to sprinkle on top. Pour the meat sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Top with remaining cheese.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until cheese is melted and lightly browned.

CHEESY CHILI ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Warm oil in a small skillet. Use tongs to dip tortillas into the oil one at a time, turning to warm both sides. Sprinkle an even amount of Cheddar cheese down the center of each warmed tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose cheese; place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
• Combine the chili, onion, and half of the processed cheese in a large bowl. Pour the chili mixture over the tortillas; top with the remaining processed cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

TEXMEX CHILI CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• 1. Heat leftover chili. Chop the onions and shred the cheese. Spray a oven-proof oblong pan, or glass baking dish, with oil.
• 2. Prepare the flour tortillas, one at a time, in a pre-heated (medium high) skillet on each side for about 7 seconds. Do not overcook as you want them to stay soft and pliable. Set aside to assemble.
• 3. Spread each tortilla with a couple of large spoonfuls of the chili. Add approximately 1/2 cup cheese to each one, along with chopped onions. Rollup tortilla and place seam side down into baking dish, side by side as in a line.
• 4. Cover the enchiladas with remaining chili. Add more shredded cheese and chopped onions. Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 25 minutes, or until heated through and cheese is melted. Serve with crackers or fried tortilla chips.

TEX-MEX ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the chili and enchilada sauce together in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally as it simmers.
• Heat the vegetable oil and chili powder together in a small skillet over medium heat. Gently lay a tortilla in the hot oil and cook until the tortilla starts to puff. Remove with a spatula and place on a plate. Immediately sprinkle about 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese and 1 tablespoon chopped onion down the center of the tortilla; roll the tortilla tightly around the mixture and place, seam-side down, into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat this process until all the tortillas are used.
• Sprinkle about 2/3 of the remaining Cheddar cheese over the rolled enchiladas. Pour the warm chili mixture evenly over the enchiladas. Scatter the remaining Cheddar cheese over the layer of the chili mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes.

ENCHILADAS CON CARNE

Steps:

• Prepare the chili con carne: Put flour in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to turn golden brown and smell nutty, then pour it onto a plate to cool.
• Wipe out sauté pan and return it to high heat with 2 tablespoons oil. When oil is hot and shimmery, add ground beef to pan, and cook, breaking it up with a fork and stirring, until it is well browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then use a slotted spoon to remove meat to a bowl, leaving drippings behind.
• Add onion, garlic and jalapeño to pan and cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits of meat, for 10 to 12 minutes, or until vegetables are soft. Stir in tomatoes and cook until their liquid has evaporated, then add chile powder, cumin and oregano and stir to combine. After a minute or so, when mixture begins to turn fragrant, return browned meat to pan, along with toasted flour, and stir well to combine.
• Lower heat to medium-high and slowly stir in chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until mixture has thickened and started to simmer. Lower heat again and allow chili to cook slowly for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until meat is tender. Add more stock or water if needed. Use immediately, or let cool, cover and refrigerate for up to a few days.
• When you are ready to cook the enchiladas, heat oven to 425 degrees. In a medium sauté pan set over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 cup neutral oil until it begins to shimmer. Using tongs or a wide spatula, place a tortilla in the hot fat; it should start to bubble immediately. Heat tortilla for about 10 seconds a side, until soft and lightly browned. Remove tortilla and set on a rack set over a baking pan, or just on a baking pan if you don't have a rack. Repeat with remaining tortillas, working quickly.
• Assemble the enchiladas: Using a ladle, put about 1/2 cup chili in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it out a little. Roll a few tablespoons of cheese into each tortilla, along with a tablespoon or so of chili, then place it seam-side down in the pan, nestling each one against the last. Ladle remaining chili over top of rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
• Transfer to oven and bake until sauce bubbles and cheese is melted, about 10 to 15 minutes. Sprinkle chopped onions over the top, if using, and serve immediately.
