Classic Enchiladas Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 1 c. beef cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 ½ c. cooked rice
  • 3/4 c. black beans
  • 4 green onions chopped
  • 1 c. shredded Monterey jack or pepper jack cheese, divided
  • 1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 19-oz can enchilada sauce
  • 2 t. chili seasoning blend
  • 1 t. salt
  • 2 T. Chopped fresh cilantro divided
  • 1 chipotle pepper chopped OR 2 T. chopped green chiles (optional...either will add heat)
  • 8 flour tortillas room temperature
  • sour cream guacamole, chopped iceberg lettuce, tortilla chips for serving

Instructions
 

  • First, Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine beef, rice, black beans, green onions, half of the cheeses, 4 T enchilada sauce, chili seasoning blend, salt, 1 T. Chopped cilantro, and chipotle pepper or green chiles (if desired). Mix well.
  • Next, Evenly distribute the mixture between the tortillas and roll up. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 dish with 1/3 cup enchilada sauce. Place rolled-up enchiladas in a single layer in the baking dish and top with remaining enchilada sauce and cheeses.
  • Then, Bake in preheated oven until cheese melts and enchiladas are heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with remaining chopped cilantro. Serve each enchilada on top of shredded lettuce alongside a dallop of guacamole and sour cream and a few tortilla chips, if desired.
