Kittencals Red Enchilada Or Taco Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat; add in onion, red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, chili powder and cumin and saute for 3 minutes.
• Add in fresh garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
• Add in salsa, tomato sauce and beef broth or water; mix with a spoon to combine.
• Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered stirring occasionally for 30-40 minutes or until reduced slightly.
• Adjust all spices to taste then season with seasoned salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix in sour cream if using and heat through (do not allow to boil).
• OPTIONAL: you may cool the mixture then process on a food processor or a blender for a smoother texture.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef with the chopped yellow onion (not red).
• Add in only 1 package taco mix (and water according to the package direction); set aside to cool completely.
• In a large bowl, mix together chopped lettuce, tomatoes, cheddar cheese (can use more than 2 cups if desired, and the cheese may be cubed small instead of shredded) avocados, red onion, olives, and the second package of taco seasoning mix.
• Add to cooled beef mixture; toss to combine.
• Just before serving toss with the salad dressing.
• The last step (JUST BEFORE SERVING) is to mix in about three-quarters of the package of crushed Doritos, leaving the rest on the side for your guests who want extra (they will get soggy if you mix them in too early!).

Steps:

• Set oven to 375 degrees F (set oven rack to second-lowest position).
• Grease a round 10-inch baking dish (I use a 9 or 10-inch round cake pan or a pie plate).
• Cook ground beef or turkey with the onion, bell pepper, garlic and jalapeno peppers (if using) until crumbly and cooked through; drain off the fat.
• Mix in the taco seasoning mix; cook stirring 2 minutes.
• Add in salsa; mix to combine and simmer uncovered for about 25 minutes, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
• To assemble; place 1 tortilla in the bottom of the pan then sprinkle 1/3 of the ground beef mixture over the tortilla, then dollup 1/3 the sour cream over the ground beef then carefully spread out using back of a spoon or a knife.
• Sprinkle 1/3 the chilies over the sour cream, then 1/3 of the shredded cheddar cheese.
• Repeat two more times (you should have used 3 tortillas) ending up with the cheese on the top.
• Cover loosley with foil (making certain not to allow the foil to touch the cheese or the cheese will stick to the foil).
• Bake for about 1 hour.
