Ingredients:
  • 1 lb lean (at least 80%) ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (4 oz)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/3 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)
  • 2/3 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can (4 oz) Old El Paso™ Chopped Green Chiles, drained
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 can (15 oz) Muir Glen™ organic tomato sauce
  • 8 soft corn tortillas (6 inch)
  • Additional shredded cheese, sour cream and chopped onion, if desired
Instructions:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes until fully cooked; drain. Add 1/2 cup onion, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1 cup cheese, cilantro, and pepper. Stir well, cover, and set aside off the heat.
  • Heat bell pepper, water, chili powder, oregano, cumin, chiles, garlic, and tomato sauce in a saucepan until boiling, then simmer for 5 minutes. Transfer to a 9-inch glass pie plate.
  • Immerse the tortillas in sauce to coat both sides. Fill each tortilla with about 1/4 cup of beef mixture, roll them up, and place them seam side down in an ungreased 11x7-inch (2-quart) glass baking dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the enchiladas.
  • Bake for around 20 minutes, or until bubbly. Top with extra cheese, sour cream, and chopped onion before serving.
