Michelles Mexican Beef Enchiladas Recipes

Steps:

• Preparing the Meat.
• Place ground beef in skillet and brown all the way.
• Add the water and fill just until the meat is covered by the water, add in cumin, four slices of the bell pepper, cut about four rings from the onion and add in, garlic salt, salt, pepper, 1/2 can of tomato sauce only, and serrano peppers.
• Cover the pan and let cook for 20-30 minutes until most of the water has evaporated and the onion and bell peppers are cooked and soft. The longer it cooks the better the meat will taste.
• Preparing the tortillas.
• While the meat is cooking you can begin preparing the tortillas for the enchiladas.
• In a small skillet pour about 2 tablespoons oil and heat on medium, place in 1 corn tortilla at a time for about 5 seconds on each side, the idea is just to get them wet and soft.
• Make sure to have a plate covered with a napkin on the bottom close to the stove, upon removing the tortilla place on top of the plate, the napkin on the bottom will absorb the extra oil. Keep repeating this until you are done with the tortillas and stack them on top of each other.
• Let cool until the meat is done.
• Preparing the Enchilada.
• Heat up the chili until it is hot.
• In a deep baking pan (13") place tortilla, fill with about 1 tablespoon of meat and roll the tortilla into a little taco, repeat process until you are done with all the meat and tortillas. Fill to your desire and for those of you who don't like meat just replace meat with grated cheese. Make sure to fill the entire bottom of the pan.
• Once the bottom is filled with the rolled tacos pour chili on top of them until every single one is covered and soaking with chili.
• Next add grated cheese on top of the chili enchilada and again make sure to cover entire bottom layer . Begin stacking the rest of the tacos on top of the first layer and repeat process until you are done.
• Next place the baking pan/tray in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted on top.
• Let cool and begin serving enjoy!

Steps:

• Snap the tops off of the dried chilies, and place in a saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes. Drain the water, and place chilies into a food processor or blender with the garlic and salt. Puree until smooth. Press sauce through a strainer, and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Soak each tortilla in the sauce, then place in the hot oil. Turn over almost immediately, and fry for about 5 seconds on the other side. Remove to a plate that is lined with paper towels. The easiest way to do this is to fry the tortillas and stack them directly on top of each other until you have fried them all. This will keep the tortillas pliable until you are ready to fill them.
• Take one fried tortilla at a time, and fill with about 2 tablespoons of the queso fresco. Roll up, and place seam side down on a plate. Place three of these on each plate. Top in the following order: Start with a layer of sour cream, then a small handful of lettuce, three tomato slices, 2 more tablespoons of queso fresco, and finally, 1 tablespoon of green onions.

• Spoon a little of the meat mixture into a corn tortilla and add small amounts of salsa, Cheddar cheese and olives. Fold the tortilla up and place in the prepared casserole dish. Repeat for the remaining tortillas using up all of the meat mixture. Reserve 1/2 cup of Cheddar cheese for topping.

Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
