Enchiladas Rojas

Cuisine Mexican

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 cup diced onion (about 1/2 onion)
  • 1.5-2 cups red enchilada sauce (homemade or 2 medium cans)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (of choice)
  • 2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 cup sour cream (DF sour cream works too!)
  • 8-10 tortillas (of your choice - I used corn)
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado (sliced)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown your ground beef and onion together in a pan over medium-high heat.
  • Once the meat has browned, add in the taco seasoning and water. Allow to thicken.
  • Next add in your 1/4 cup enchilada sauce, sour cream, and cheese and stir to combine.
  • Take a few spoonfuls of the enchilada sauce and spread on the bottom of a 9 x 13" pan so the enchiladas don't stick. I also spray it first.
  • If you're using corn tortillas, microwave them for about 30 seconds in a wet paper towel to soften them. Flour tortillas should be fine without this step.
  • Scoop the meat into the tortillas and repeat until your pan is full.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the top and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the sauce is bubbling.
  • Top with cilantro, avocado and dollops of sour cream.
  • Enjoy with a big salad and rice.
