Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup kidney beans
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 8-10 6-inch flour tortillas
Instructions:
-
Begin by prepping your ingredients. Dice the onion, and reserve half of it for the filling. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef along with the remaining onion until the beef is no longer pink. Once cooked, drain any excess fat and return the beef and onion mixture to the skillet.
-
Stir in the seasoning mix, diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, kidney beans, and half of the diced green chilies. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
-
While the chili mixture simmers, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
-
Next, prepare the enchiladas. Spoon about 1 cup of the meat mixture into an 11×7 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly along the bottom.
-
In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese with the reserved diced onion and remaining diced green chilies. Mix well.
-
Spoon the cheese mixture evenly down the centers of the flour tortillas. Roll up the tortillas tightly, ensuring the filling is securely enclosed inside, and place them seam side down over the meat mixture in the baking dish.
-
Once all the enchiladas are assembled in the baking dish, top them evenly with the remaining meat mixture.
-
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until the enchiladas are thoroughly heated through.
-
After 20 minutes, remove the baking dish from the oven and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Once fully cooked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
-
Serve your delicious Chili and Enchiladas hot, garnished with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapenos, and enjoy the irresistible flavors of this comforting Tex Mex dish.
