Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Tex-Mex Beef Cheese Enchiladas.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350Β°F (175Β°C).
Step 2
In a spacious skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks until it loses its pink hue.
Step 3
Once cooked, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light.
Step 4
Infuse the beef with a blend of chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, and salt, stirring in tomato sauce along with 2 cups of water.
Step 5
Allow this flavorful mixture to simmer gently on low heat.
Step 6
Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, combine the remaining 2 cups of water with flour and sugar, mixing until the flour dissolves completely.
Step 7
Gradually stir this mixture into the simmering meat sauce, letting it thicken for about 10 minutes.
Step 8
While the sauce transforms, heat cooking oil in another skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 9
Warm the corn tortillas in the hot oil until they become pliable and easy to handle.
Step 10
Take each tortilla and fill it with a sprinkle of shredded cheese, rolling them up tightly and placing them seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 11
Donβt forget to save some cheese for the topping! Pour the rich meat sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then generously sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Step 12
Slide the dish into your preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and lightly browned.
Step 13
Enjoy the delightful aroma as your dish comes together, promising a comforting meal that warms the heart.
