Tex Mex Enchiladas

Ingredients

• 15-20 corn tortillas

Filling:

• 1 pound ground beef
• 4 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1/4 c monterrey jack cheese, shredded
• 1/4 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

Sauce:

• 4 tbsp butter
• 6 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 4 cups unsalted beef broth
• 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tsp chili powder
• Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9″x13″ casserole dish.
2. Cook ground beef with the taco seasoning until completely cooked with no pink showing. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
3. Heat sauté pan over medium heat. Add butter and melt completely.
4. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and whisk to form a roux. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
5. Add beef broth a splash at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until all the broth has been incorporated.
6. Add the remaining sauce ingredients and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and allowing to thicken.
7. Add just enough sauce to the casserole dish to thinly coat the bottom.
8. Add the cheeses to the beef mixture and stir.
9. Heat the tortillas:
   • Separate the tortillas into stacks of 6.
   • Wrap each stack of 6 in damp paper towels.
   • Microwave each stack on a plate for 1 minute.
10. One at a time, add about 2 tbsp of filling to a tortilla and roll tightly. Then place seam-side-down in the casserole dish. Place them side-by-side in a single layer.
11. Pour remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas then sprinkle with extra cheese.
12. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
13. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes.
