Beef and bean enchiladas

Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • chili powder
  • oregano
  • salt/pepper
  • large can of tomato sauce (28oz?)
  • shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend

Instructions
  • Preheat oven to 350º F
  • Lately I have been buying and testing different remade enchilada sauces but the original recipe had a sauce so we will start with that.
  • In a medium saucepan saute half of the chopped onion and one clove of minced garlic in a tablespoon of oil until soft.  Take your time and use a low heat.
  • Add large can of tomato sauce, salt/pepper, 1 t oregano, 1-2 T chili powder.  Bring to a simmer, cover, and let cook for 30 min (while you make the filling)

  • Cook ground beef, the other half onion, and one clove of garlic in a pan until no pink remains in the meat.  Drain off any fat.  Season with salt/pepper to taste.
  • Add can of refried beans and mix well.  Remove from heat.

  • Spread a small amount of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a greased 13x9 pan.
  • Warm up the corn tortillas (microwave or burner).
  • In each tortilla put a few T of the filling and a small amount of cheese, Roll and place in the pan.  I usually do a long row of 8 and then the other four go in the pan the other direction, two on each side.  
  • Continue filling tortillas until you have used all 12.  Use chips to eat the rest of the filling if you didn't use it all.
  • Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas.  Cover with cheese.
  • Bake at 350º F for 30 min.  Serve with rice.  Be sure to have ice cream for dessert (as directed by Grandpa B.)
