Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder
  • ¼ tsp Dried oregano
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste

Enchilada

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 3 oz Cheddar cheese shredded
  • 8 Soft taco shells
  • 3 oz Monterey jack cheese shredded
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro chopped

Instructions

  • For the sauce: This sauce comes together quickly once you get started, so measure out the dry ingredients (chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, oregano) into a small bowl.
  • In a saucepot over medium heat, bring the broth, tomato paste and dry ingredients to a simmer.
  • Simmer until it starts to thicken and deepens in color. Whisk to make sure there are no lumps then remove from heat.

Enchiladas

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat; add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, break up the beef as it cooks into smaller pieces. Stir in the cheddar cheese until melted. Then set aside.
  • Lay the tortillas on a flat surface and spoon the beef mixture in the center. Roll the tortillas into a cigar shape and place them seam side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.
  • Place into oven and bake about 10 minutes. Spoon a little sauce on each and top with Monterey jack cheese. Bake for another 5-10 minutes until the cheese has melted.
  • Serve with more sauce. Garnish with cilantro.
