This is a very rich and fairly easy recipe to make. It can be heated up to your taste. We like a lot of heat in our food. You can scale the heat down to your own liking. This would be a great dish to take to pot-lucks. Served with spanish rice and a green salad this makes a great dinner. This dish can be made ahead, add additional bake time after refidgerated. Ingredients:
1 lb ground beef |
1 large chopped onion |
1/2 cup minced onion (reserved) |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
2 jalapeno peppers (optional) or 2 hot chili peppers, of your choice (optional) |
1 (10 ounce) can ro-tel tomatoes |
1 (14 ounce) can stewed tomatoes |
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce |
2 tablespoons of mccormick taco seasoning |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt or 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas or 8 (6 inch) corn tortillas |
2 (3 ounce) packages cream cheese |
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chilies, drained |
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives |
8 ounces shredded monterey jack cheese or 8 ounces jalapeno jack cheese |
2 green onions, sliced |
sour cream (to garnish) |
Directions:
1. In a large skillet, cook beef, onion, garlic, and hot peppers over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain well. Stir in tomatoes, enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, cumin salt and pepper. Salt and pepper can be adjusted to your taste. Bring to a boil, reduce heat; cover and simmer for 20 minutes. The longer you simmer, the better the sauce gets, water can be added if gets too thick. Pour half of the sauce into a greased 13-in. X 9-in. X 2 inches baking dish; set aside.
2. Stack totillas and wrap in foil: warm at 350 oven for 15 minutes. I put my tortillas in wax paper and heat in the microwave for 1 minute to save time. Spread tortillas with cream cheese, chopped green chilies and minced onion, top it with a light layer of grated cheese, fold in half.
3. Arrange folded tortillas over the meat sauce; pour remaining sauce on top. Cover and bake at 350 oven for 25 minutes or until hot. Uncover and sprinkle with grated cheese and sliced olives. Bake 5 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Take out and add sliced green onions.
4. Let sit for 5 minutes.
5. Serve with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
