Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef (subsitute with ground turkey, chicken, or veggies)
- 9-10 Corn tortillas
- 2 tbsp Flour
- 3 tbsp Red chile powder
- 2 cups Cold water
- 1 Garlic clove minced, or crushed
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2½-3 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- In a medium size pan, brown ground beef, add flour and cook for one minute. Add red chile powder and cook for another minute.
- Now add water, garlic and bring to a boil. Once it is boiling, add salt and turn the heat down to low simmering for 20 minutes. Turn off chile and remove it from heat -- you don't need to cook it any longer.
- Now it is time to assemble your enchiladas! Preheat the oven to 350, Now in an 8x10 baking pan, spoon a ladle full of chile on the bottom of the pan. Layer corn tortillas to cover the bottom, then add more chile mix, covering all of the tortillas.
- Lastly, layer with cheese. Repeat the process until the entire chile mix has been used up. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. The last 10 minutes of baking, remove the foil and continue to bake uncovered. Take the enchiladas out of the oven and set for 15 minutes before serving.
- To prep corn tortillas: Heat corn tortillas, 3 at a time, in a wet cloth for 30 seconds in the microwave. You do not need to fry in oil. Serve enchiladas with fried papitas, beans, or calabacitas.
