Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced ripe olives
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 onion, diced
- 1 green pepper, diced
- 1 cup tomato sauce
- 1 can (4 oz) green chilies
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven: Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure it’s ready when you need to bake the enchiladas later.
-
Prepare beef filling: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until it’s cooked through. Drain any excess grease.
-
Season the filling: To the cooked beef, add cottage cheese, sliced olives, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined. This flavorful filling will be the star of your enchiladas!
-
Assemble the enchiladas: Take each flour tortilla and spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef filling down the middle. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, then place it seam side down in a 13×9-inch baking pan. Repeat this process until all tortillas are filled and rolled.
-
Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet used for browning the beef, sauté the diced onion and green pepper in a bit of oil until they’re tender and fragrant.
-
Add sauce ingredients: To the skillet with onions and peppers, add tomato sauce, green chilies, chili powder, and garlic powder. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Pour sauce over enchiladas: Once the sauce is heated through and well-mixed, pour it evenly over the assembled enchiladas in the baking pan. Make sure they’re all generously coated with the delicious sauce.
-
Bake: Cover the baking pan with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the enchiladas to cook through.
-
Add cheese topping: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas. Return the pan to the oven, uncovered, and bake for an additional 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the enchiladas are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with additional parsley or sliced olives if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the irresistible flavors of these Beef Enchiladas!
