These are good beef enchiladas from The Once A Month Cookbook. I also substitute the beef with leftover chicken or turkey too. Nice to have some in the freezer for quick dinners. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef (3 3/4 cups browned meat) |
1 1/4 cups onions, finely chopped (3/4 cup sauteed) |
1 tablespoon chili powder |
salt and pepper, to taste |
2 cups monterey jack cheese, grated (1 cup) |
8 flour tortillas |
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of chicken soup |
1 1/2 cups sour cream or 1 1/2 cups plain low-fat yogurt |
1 (4 ounce) can diced green chilies |
Directions:
1. Cook the ground beef, and saute onions until the meat is brown, about 15 minutes. Drain the fat. Combine with chili powder, salt and pepper. Reserve 1 cup cheese in a 1-quart freezer bag to use when serving. Spoon enough meat mixture and cheese on each tortilla to cover a third of it. Roll tortilla beginning at the filled edge. Place seam side down in a 13x9x2-inch baking dish treated with nonstick spray. When tortillas are completed, combine soup, sour cream, and green chilies to make a sauce; pour over tortillas. Cover dish with foil and freeze with bag of cheese taped to it.
2. To prepare for serving, thaw enchiladas and cheese. Bake uncovered in a preheated 375ºF oven for 20 to 25 minutes. The last 10 minutes sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
