Preparation
To make the sauce
- Fry the small white onion until soft
- Blend the fried onion with the garlic, chilli, oregano, cumin, salt, ketchup, purée and chopped tomatoes
To make the filling
- Fry the large onion, mince and garlic until the meat is no longer pink
- Pour off any liquid and season with salt and pepper
- Mix in approx ¼ (150ml) of the sauce
To make the Enchiladas
- Dip each tortilla in the remaining sauce to coat on each side, this should use about 300ml of sauce, leaving approx 150ml for later.
- Spoon approx 3 tbsp of the beef mix onto each tortilla
- Roll each tortilla around the beef mix, and place in a large roasting dish, seam down
- Cover with kitchen foil
- Bake for 15 minutes at
180°C - Remove from oven, remove foil and spoon the remaining sauce (approx 1tbsp each) onto the top of each tortilla
- You can also add grated cheese if you like cheese
- Return to the oven and bake for additional 20 分
Notes
- Traditionally cheese is also added to the topping in the penultimate step but as I don't eat cheese I omit it. The pictures show some that I made for my better half with cheese included.
- Flour tortillas are best suited for tex-mex style enchiladas. For mexican-style use corn tortillas instead
