Enchiladas are popular with my kids, especially these chicken enchiladas and so making minced beef enchiladas seemed like a no brainer. And it was. They're super delicious, easy to make with some very simple ingredients and you're going to end up with a pretty impressive looking dinner that's (Shhh...) taken you, well, very little time to make. Perfect, right?!!
Heat your oven to 190c or 350f and grease your casserole dish or baking dish with a little butter. You can also use olive oil to do this
In a large pan heat your olive oil over a medium-high heat and fry the diced onions for a few minutes, moving them round the pan often to stop them burning, until they're cooked through
Add the minced beef, salt and pepper to the onion pan and cook, breaking it up as it cooks
Sprinkle the spices, Oregano, Paprika and Cumin to the pan and combine well making sure the meat is coated well in spice mix. Cook for another couple of minutes
Pour in the stock, tomato puree, vinegar, black beans and corn. Combine and then simmer the beef mixture for 20 minutes until the sauce had thickened
Near the end of the mixture simmering time, heat your tortilla gently in the warm oven for a few minutes in foil to soften them
When the beef mixture has thickened up, use a colander to drain the sauce from the mixture, keeping the sauce to one side
On a large plate put one tortilla on it, spread some sour cream over one side of it and then spoon some beef mixture on top and fold your tortilla and place it in the greased baking dish. Repeat until all your tortilla are filled and arranged in a single layer in your baking dish
Pour your red enchilada sauce (the drained sauce from the filling mixture) over the top of the layer of filled tortilla and then sprinkle with your grated cheddar cheese
Cover the dish with the foil making sure the foil isn't pressed down onto the cheese to stop it sticking and bake for 15 minutes in the oven
After 15 minutes remove the foil from the top of the dish and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling
