What is not to love about this tasty Chilli Beef Enchiladas Recipe? Rolled tortillas packed full with delicious chilli, topped with cheese and baked in the oven for a simple but oh-so-good family dinner. It contains hidden veggies that no-one will even realise they’re eating, and you get to introduce the kids to some new flavours along the way. Plus it’s made with minced beef and other great value ingredients. ✅ A new mince beef recipe for the weekly meal plan ✅ Cheap, easy and soooo tasty ✅ Make ahead for the freezer for extra busy evenings ⭐️ I use tomato-based sauce because it’s easy for midweek, plus it adds to the vegetable and nutrient count, which you know I’m always on the look-out for. ⭐️ I often double this recipe and make one extra for the freezer. Prepare to the end of step 7 and then cover and freeze. Then when you want to eat, allow to defrost and bake in the oven as normal. Check it’s hot through before serving. No, you can use whichever kind you prefer in your family: wholemeal, etc. I like corn tortillas as I think they go really well with the flavours and taste slightly more like the real thing. If you like to double up on your carbs now and then (like me), then you could go for homemade wedges or a rice salad. If not, how about a green salad or coleslaw? You can also use the chilli beef sauce for another day and another recipe altogether to give you a variation. Instead, serve with rice, pitta breads or as a pasta sauce. I would say this recipe had a low to moderate spiciness – just a nice warm heat, which is OK for children but it does depend on their tastes. Leave out the chilli flakes if you’d rather keep it mild. On the flip side, if you want more spice, add one or two deseeded and chopped red chillies while frying your onion and garlic. In traditional enchilada recipes the wraps are pan fried on each side in a little hot oil to keep them crisp when sitting next to the sauce. Feel free to try that method next time if the wraps are too soft.
I’d love to know how you got on and what you thought of it if you make this recipe. Please rate the recipe using the ⭐️ by the recipe. Also, if you’d like to show me a photo by tagging me on Instagram (@tamingtwins) I LOVE to see your creations.
