Ingredients
450 g (1 lb) ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 package taco seasoning
1 can red beans
400g (14 oz) enchilada sauce, green or red
1 package shredded cheddar cheese
1 package flour tortillas
1/2 cup water
Soft butter
Sour cream
Salsa
Lettuce
Directions
- Brown the ground beef and onion together in a sauce pan and then drain off the grease.
- Add the package of taco seasoning, along with 1/2 cup of water and the red beans. Cook on medium heat until the liquid drains off. Set the mixture aside so that you can prepare the tortillas.
- Apply a small amount of butter to both sides of the tortillas. Place a skillet on a low heat setting and add the buttered tortillas one at a time. Turn the tortillas over after 15 or 20 seconds on each side. You just want to soften the tortillas so that you are able to roll them easily. The butter will also give the tortillas extra flavor. After the tortillas have been softened, place them on a plate until you are ready to roll them.
- Once you have heated all the tortillas you want, coat a 9 x 13 baking dish with butter and place a tortilla in it. Add the meat mixture and shredded cheese before rolling.
- Continue rolling the meat mixture and cheese in the tortillas until the meat mixture is gone or until you have the desired amount of enchiladas.
- Any meat mixture that is remaining can be sprinkled on top of the dish. Add extra cheese over the top of the enchiladas
- Pour the can of enchilada sauce over everything.
- Bake the enchiladas at 170 C (350 degrees F) for 20 minutes or until the cheese on top has melted. Serve hot and use sour cream, salsa and lettuce as toppings if desired for flavor. If you want to serve a larger group, then you can modify the recipe by using more ground beef and tortillas.
