Best Beef Enchiladas

  4.6 – 380 reviews  • Beef

My stepdaughter who is vegan offered me this amazing dish. So yummy and nutritious. My young children adored them! Add chia seeds, black sesame seeds, or chocolate chips as a garnish! You can add peanut butter or peanut butter chips to the icing if you’d like!

Simple and moderately quick.

I just add a can of chopped green chilies to it, use tortillas that are made with flour and corn so the are very pliable to roll. A lot of tines I just layer instead of rolling a s make layer casserole.
Amber Howard
Love it! We made alterations. Used corn tortillas and added a lot of toppings; diced tomatoes, cilantro, green chili’s, chives, and raw diced onion.

This is soooo good. I put it into my monthly rotations. Because it’s just the two of us, I usually cut everything in half. Sometimes instead of rolling it, I put the tortillas in the bottom, and then the other ingredients on top covered with tortillas. Otherwise, I just follow the recipe exactly.
Tina Wagner
Sooo good. I follow the recipe as is, other than I reserve some of the enchilada sauce to pour over the top of the tortillas before adding the other toppings.
Amber Byrd
This was delicious. I couldn’t find the Enchalada sauce at my grocery store so I used Classico Spicy Red Pepper pasta sauce. Kept everything else the same and it was very tasty and flavorful.

I seemed to be a basic recipe so i added some chipotle peppers in adobe sauce and green chiles. threw in some real garlic instead of powder and a french onion sour cream dip. I used a combination stew beef chopped up and a ground beef. I also used my own shredded cheese because pre shredded leaves a “grainy texture”. it turned out just the way I wanted it to .
Elizabeth Reed
Quick and easy to make. Kids and grandkids loved it.
Rebecca Thomas
This is my go to enchilada recipe. But they are best when you use the homemade red enchilada sauce made with ancho and guajillo peppers.
Michael Bryant
I only added some rice, threw the beans into the mix. Very good. Flour or corn Tortilla, really doesn’t matter. Do it how you want, it was great.
David Matthews
Yum! My biggest problem with this recipe was getting the filling into the wraps without eating it! It’s good enough to have as a chili if you throw the beans in. My new favorite!! Thank you!
William Moran
Good meal. My family weren’t impressed with the olives. I may make it again without the olives. Had a good flavor.
Douglas Houston
I do mine with chicken and also add some cooked brown rice. Absolutely delicious!!
Amber Shah
Loved recipe, prepared the exact recipe. Will definitely make again.
Bobby Phillips
Amazing!!
Cynthia Gordon
Very good I added more vegetables!
David Ward
Well I would like to start by saying as a native Californian enchiladas are made with corn tortillas not flour tortillas. Other then that it was quite good.
Edward Cortez
Loved it .. however my significant other said would of been better with corn tortillas He is an old dog hard to teach New tricks to
Victoria Contreras
If I were to make this again, I would use less chili powder.
Alicia Mason
