Easy Spicy Enchiladas

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• steak seasoning, to taste
• 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
• 6 medium soft taco-size flour tortillas

Enchilada Sauce

• 2 (10 ounce) cans enchilada sauce

• 1/4 cup taco sauce
• 1 tablespoon pureed chipotle chile (recipe below)
• hot pepper sauce, to taste
• 1 dash lime juice

Chipotle Puree

• chipotle peppers in adobo seasoning
• water
• lime juice

Directions

1. 1

   To prep chipotle puree, blend chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and dash of lime juice in food processor with water until it reaches a smooth paste consistency.

2. 2

   Brown beef in large saute pan with steak seasoning.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, whisk together canned enchilada sauce, taco sauce, chipotle puree, hot pepper sauce, and lime juice. Adjust heat as desired by using more/less chipotle or hot pepper sauce. I would not use more than 1 tbsp of puree per can of sauce - which makes a delicious but very, very spicy sauce.

4. 4

   Drain beef then return to stove with 1/4 cup sauce mixture and a handful of cheese. Stir constantly until melted and bubbly.

5. 5

   Microwave the tortillas for 30-45 seconds to soften. Spoon meat mixture into tortillas and roll up. Lay seam side down in 13x9 greased casserole dish.

6. 6

   Once enchiladas are assembled, cover with remaining enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake in a 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce bubbles, cheese begins to brown, and the exposed parts of the tortillas are toasted.
