The best enchiladas I've ever had- really, the only ones I've ever liked! I crave these, and usually make them at least two times a month. You can easily use shredded chicken instead of ground beef, and feel free to use corn tortillas instead of flour...it's the sauce that make these enchiladas so AWESOME!

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
3 tablespoons chili powder, mexican style
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 garlic cloves, mashed
2 1/2 cups water
6 ounces tomato paste
1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1/2 onion, minced
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
6 flour tortillas

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2
To make the sauce: Melt butter in a sauce pan, then add chili powder, flour, and salt. Stir until smooth.
3
Add garlic and stir in water and tomato paste (may have to use a whisk). Simmer until thick.
4
To make the filling: Cook ground beef with the onion, then drain. Add taco seasoning. Add approximately 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce to the meat.
5
Place the beef and cheese in each tortilla and roll up. Pour the enchilada sauce on top and bake for 25 minutes.

I just made these for lunch. My in-laws and my guy really liked them. Thanks for a great recipe! I'll be making these again!

This was pretty awesome! The only reason I am not giving it five stars is b/c no where in the steps does it say when to add the canned enchilada sauce. I added it to the butter, water, garlic, tom. paste, etc. mixture. Otherwise, I made as directed except I added black beans and green pepper to the meat mixture. I also dipped my tortillas in the sauce before rolling. Finally, I added some extra cheese on top. This is going into our regular rotation. Thanks! Reviewed for PAC 2009.
