Ingredients
Filling:
2 pounds ground beef
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 bunch fresh cilantro
Gravy:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup beef bouillon
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Enchiladas:
Nonstick cooking spray, for the griddle
18 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar
1 diced onion, optional
Directions
- For the filling: In large pot, cook ground beef, black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder and cilantro over medium heat until beef is browned all the way through.
- For the gravy: In a large pot on low heat, add flour and vegetable oil. Cook, stirring often, for 30 minutes, to make a dark brown roux for the gravy. Add 1/4 cup water, the beef bouillon, chili powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Continue to cook until you have the consistency for the gravy, another 5 minutes.
- For the enchiladas: Heat a griddle or grill on medium heat. Spray cooking spray or put oil on griddle. Place tortillas on griddle until pliable for folding, about 15 seconds.
- Place tortillas on a flat surface. Add meat to a tortilla and roll up, keeping the seam side down. Place on a microwave/oven-safe plate. Repeat until all tortillas are used.
- Spoon gravy over enchiladas until covered. Top with Cheddar and place in microwave or oven until cheese melts. Top with onions, if using.
