The BEST EVER Enchiladas

Hands down, this is the BEST EVER Enchilada recipe. I’m totally serious! Make them, you’ll see. They can be made with chicken, beef, or pork!

Ingredients

• For the enchiladas:
• 1 recipe Mexican Style Meat (printable recipe below this recipe)
• 3-3.5 cups shredded Pepper Jack or Mont. Jack cheese
• 10-12 flour tortillas, burrito size
• For the enchilada sauce:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ cup minced onions
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 3 (8oz) cans tomato sauce
• 2 (4oz) cans chopped green chiles
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• a few splashes of hot sauce to taste (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
2. For the enchilada sauce:
3. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan. Saute the onions until soft & translucent. Add the garlic & saute for 1 minute. Stir in the tomato sauce, green chiles, chili powder, cumin, & hot sauce (if using). Cook on medium/low heat for 10 minutes, stirring often.
4. For the enchiladas:
5. Pour a little bit of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 pan, just enough to cover the bottom. Lay out the flour tortillas & spoon in a few heaping spoonfuls of the Mexican Style Meat. Then spoon in a couple heaping spoonfuls of shredded cheese, to your liking. Roll like a burrito & place in the baking dish. Repeat until all the tortillas are used.
6. Cover completely with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes.
