AUTHENTIC BEEF ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Ground Beef
• Cook the ground beef over medium heat. Break the beef up while it cooks, cook until browned and no longer pink.
• Turn the heat off. Drain the grease. Add the seasonings to the meat, stir to combine. Then stir in the tomato sauce. Set aside.
• Homemade Enchilada Sauce:
• Heat the oil or butter in a medium size skillet over medium heat.
• Add in the flour and stir to mix. Will be a thick mixture. Allow this to cook for just 1-2 minutes.
• Add in the spices. Stir to form a thick paste.
• Stir in the broth and tomato paste. Stir until smooth. Continue to heat to just below a simmer, sauce will thicken slightly.
• Enchiladas:
• Preheat oven to 350℉ degrees.
• Spread enchilada sauce into the bottom of a glass 9x13 baking dish. Set aside.
• Heat vegetable or canola oil over medium heat in a medium size skillet.
• Once the oil is hot enough to bubble up when a tortilla is dipped in, gently lay the tortilla into the oil using tongs. Allow the tortilla to cook in the oil for about 10-15 seconds, then flip and cook the other side. (Tortillas will not be browned and crisp, we still want them flexible)
• Once all tortillas have been fried, dip into the enchilada sauce. Or brush the sauce on.
• Lay the tortilla down and add a spoonful of ground beef and a small sprinkle of cheese.
• Roll the tortillas and lay into a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until the dish is filled.
• Spread leftover sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with leftover shredded cheese.
• Bake for 10 minutes until the cheese is melted.
• Serve warm and enjoy.

AUTHENTIC MEXICAN ENCHILADAS RANCHERAS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place dried red chile in a bowl and cover with hot water. Soak for 10 to 20 minutes.
• When chile is softened, remove stem. Cut the chile lengthwise. Use a spoon to scrape out the seeds and white stringy areas and discard. Cut chile into long pieces about 1/4 inch across, and then cut the strips into 1/4-inch-size pieces.
• Heat two tablespoons of oil or lard in a large saucepan over medium heat.
• Add onion and pepper and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
• Add tomatoes, chile, garlic, cumin, and oregano and cook for an additional five minutes, stirring. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Cover pan and keep it over low heat to stay warm while you prepare the tortillas. Note: If you prefer a smooth version of the sauce, you can use a handheld immersion blender to blend it in the pan until it reaches your desired consistency. If using a jar-style blender, let the sauce cool to near room temperature before attempting to blend it. You can then reheat the sauce over low heat.
• Add remaining cooking oil to a medium-sized frying pan to coat the bottom. Heat cooking oil over medium-high heat.
• Place a tortilla in the hot oil, and cook for about 10 to 15 seconds. Flip it over and add 1/4 cup cheese down the center. The cheese will begin to melt. Cook the tortilla for about another 10 seconds.
• Flip it over and add 1/4 cup cheese down the center. The cheese will begin to melt. Cook the tortilla for about another 10 seconds.
• Remove it from pan and place on absorbent paper to absorb some of the oil.
• Wrap one side over cheese, and then the other side, so that cheese is now rolled up inside of tortilla.
• Quickly cook another tortilla and cheese, transfer to paper towels, and then place on a serving plate. Repeat process until all tortillas have been cooked, adding more oil as necessary.
• To serve, pour about 1/2 cup of sauce over pairs of enchiladas. These enchiladas are great plain or topped with cream, guacamole , and/or a sprinkle of chopped fresh onions and fresh cilantro leaves. Serve alone on the plate on alongside some Mexican rice and/or beans.

HOLLA BEEF ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Trim, cut, pat dry and season the beef with salt and pepper. Coat the bottom of a large heavy Dutch oven with oil. Heat the oil, over medium heat, and brown the beef, in batches, being careful to not crowd. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, if needed, to finish the beef. As the beef browns, add it to a bowl and keep warm. Add 1 tablespoon of canola oil to the pot over medium heat and add the onions; cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute more, then stir in the stock to deglaze the pan. Add the browned beef, the vinegar and the water and cover tightly. Put the pot in the oven and after 45 minutes, give the beef a stir. Cover and cook for an additional 2 hours and 15 minutes, stirring every 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 20 to 30 minutes. Shred with forks, incorporating the onions and garlic.
• When ready to assemble, put 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Heat a medium saute pan over medium-high heat with just enough enchilada sauce to coat the bottom. Dip the tortillas, 1 at a time, into the sauce, and cook until tender, about 1 minute each. Combine the cheeses in a medium bowl. Remove the enchiladas to a flat surface. Fill each with some of the shredded meat and cheese, (reserve some cheese for the top of the baking pan). Roll and arrange them, seam side down, in the baking pan, packing the enchiladas tightly. Add additional sauce to come 1/3 up the sides of the enchiladas, then sprinkle a line of cheese, lengthwise, down the center of the pan. Garnish with green onions and black olives. Bake until bubbly, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, let sit for 5 minutes and then serve with sour cream.
• Add the boiling water to a large bowl and add all of the chiles. Let steep in water for 1 hour.
• Transfer the chiles and the steeping liquid to a blender and puree for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the blender and strain through strainer.
• Heat the oil in heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, saute until soft. Stir in the diced tomatoes, strained chiles, oregano, cumin, salt, black pepper and cloves. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for approximately 30 minutes.
