Tortillas With Ground Beef Food

GROUND BEEF ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with diced onions and garlic, breaking up the beef with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until no longer pink. Drain any excess grease.
• Sprinkle taco seasoning and cumin over the beef and stir in ¼ cup of water. Continue to cook, stirring often, until water is absorbed.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour ½ a cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
• Heat remaining sauce in a small skillet, just until bubbly, then remove from heat. Wrap a stack of 10 corn tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds to a minute. Dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce to coat both sides then lay flat on a cutting board or plate. Add a small amount of the meat mixture (about 3 tablespoons) down the center of the tortilla, then top with about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll up both sides and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and meat.
• Pour remaining sauce over the enchiladas evenly and top with remaining shredded cheese. Feel free to add more or less cheese based on your preferences. Sprinkle sliced green onion on top.
• Bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Let sit 5 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired with optional toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado, sliced green onions or cilantro.

BAKED GROUND BEEF TAQUITOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
• In a large skillet, brown ground beef and onion. Once brown, add the seasonings: garlic, chili powder, salt, pepper, cumin, paprika. Cook for a couple of minutes, until fragrant. Add the tomato sauce and stir.
• Remove from the heat source. Stir in the shredded cheese.
• Spoon some filling in a straight line near one edge of the tortilla, and roll tightly from that end. Place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
• Lightly spray or brush the tops of the tortillas with oil. For a spray, I like Chosen Foods avocado spray. For brushing, I use olive oil or avocado oil.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until beginning to brown and crisp on top. Serve with toppings: radish slices, avocado slices, guacamole, salsa, sour cream, green onions, shredded lettuce, slaw, or cilantro.
• To freeze for a future meal: Prepare filling as above and let cool before filling tortillas. Place the taquitos on a parchment-lined sheet pan and freeze for 2 hours. Once frozen, wrap them in the parchment sheet and place in a plastic bag for up to 3 months in the freezer. To cook from frozen, preheat oven to 375F. Place taquitos on a parchment-lined sheet pan and spray or brush with oil. Bake for 25 minutes or until heated through and brown and crisp on top.

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using a paring knife, trim tortillas to fit a 9-inch springform pan (use the removable bottom of the pan as a guide). Assemble pan with the bottom upside down; lightly oil bottom and sides. Set aside.

Raise heat to medium-high; add beef and garlic. Cook, breaking up meat with a spoon until no longer pink, 4 to 6 minutes. Add corn and spinach; stir until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Place one tortilla in the prepared pan. Spreading evenly, top with 1 1/2 packed cups beef mixture, then 1/2 cup cheese. Repeat with two more layers. Top with last tortilla, and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
