Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef 80/20 mix recommended
- 1/3 cup chopped white onion
- 3 tablespoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano regular oregano is fine too
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for extra heat
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth beef broth or water are good alternatives
- 3 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese or American cheese
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1/2 cup chopped white onion for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. This will get your oven ready for baking the enchiladas.
- Brown the ground beef with the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine the spices with the beef.
- Sprinkle the flour over the beef mixture and stir until the flour is fully incorporated. Cook for another minute to remove the raw flour taste.
- Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens into a gravy, about 5 minutes.
- Dip each tortilla in the gravy to lightly coat it, then fill with about 1/4 cup of cheese and roll up. Place the filled tortillas seam side down in a baking dish.
- Pour the remaining gravy over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with the remaining chopped onion before serving. Enjoy your delicious Tex-Mex Enchiladas hot from the oven!
