Super Easy Beef Enchilada

I made this Beef Enchilada as simple as it can be.
Author: Shobee

Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds lean ground beef
  • 2 cans 10 oz Traditional Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 can 15.5 oz Black Beans drained and washed
  • 1 can 4 oz Old El Paso Green Chili
  • 1/4 cup chopped onion
  • 3 cups Mexican Blend shredded cheese
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F.
  • Heat oil in a pan and add in the onion and cook until transparent. Add the ground meat until brown or cook through.
  • Add the black beans and the green chili and cook to warm around 3 minutes.Let the meat mixture cool for easy handling

To assemble the Beef Enchilada

  • Pour around 1/2 cup of Enchilada sauce in the baking pan and spread throughout the pan. Set aside.
  • Lay out a tortilla, and spread two tablespoons of sauce over the surface of the tortilla. Portion about 1/4 cup of the ground beef mixture and spread it in a line down the center of the tortilla, then sprinkle with 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up tortilla and place in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Spread 1 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas and you can set aside remaining sauce for next use, OR YOU CAN ADJUST THE AMOUNT of how much you spread of the pan and the amount on top of the tortilla to be able to use up the ingredients.
  • Then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Notes

you can set aside remaining sauce for next use, OR YOU CAN ADJUST THE AMOUNT of how much you spread of the pan and the amount on top of the tortilla to be able to use up the ingredients. I made both and still was really good. When you use all of the sauce, it yields a more moist Beef Enchilada.
