No ratings yet 40 min Serves 2 Mexican
Easy ground beef stacked enchiladas. The dish is a variation of the typical Mexican enchiladas dish and is made with layers of flour tortillas topped with ground beef, sour cream, green chiles and grated cheese. This recipe can serve 2 for main dish, or 4-6 for an appetizer. Adjust the amount of green chiles used to your liking.

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded mild Cheddar or Jack cheese
  • Diced green chiles to taste

Method

Cook the beef
In a heavy skillet over medium heat add the vegetable oil, beef and onions and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, turning often, until the the beef is cooked through.

Drain any liquid and return to the heat. Season with salt and pepper and add the salsa. Cover, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Assemble the enchilada
Preheat oven at 350 F.

Place a tortilla in a round dish (the dish should be a bit bigger than the tortilla). Top with 1/5th of the cooked beef, 1/5th of the sour cream, cheese and green chiles, to taste. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and ingredients.

Cover enchilada with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Uncover and bake for 5 more minutes.

Serve with salsa and guacamole.
