This beef recipe is one of my family's favorites. The enchiladas can be made in advance and then reheated, or you can make the different components ahead of time and assemble and bake for a quick dinner. Serve with sour cream and picante sauce or salsa.

Ingredients

  • cooking spray
  • 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 0.25 teaspoons dried marjoram
  • 0.25 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 , 15 ounce
  • 0.67 cups water
  • 0.33 cups taco seasoning mix , such as Old El Paso
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 0.5 cups diced green onions
  • 1 , 10.5 ounce
  • 0.5 cups reduced-fat sour cream
  • 1 , 4 ounce
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese blend , divided
  • 0.25 cups milk
  • 7 large flour tortillas , or as needed

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep 12x6-inch hotel pan or casserole dish with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    Mix together garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, cumin, marjoram, and oregano in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef in the hot skillet until crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain and discard excess grease. Add black beans, water, taco seasoning, and garlic powder mixture; cook and stir until most of liquid is evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Meanwhile, heat butter in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir green onions in hot butter until softened, about 5 minutes. Mix in condensed soup, sour cream, and green chile peppers until well combined; reduce heat to low and simmer until mixture is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove 3/4 cup soup mixture and stir into ground beef mixture; fold in 1/2 cup Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese until well incorporated.

  6. 6

    Stir milk into remaining soup mixture until sauce is smooth; remove from heat.

  7. 7

    Spoon about 1/2 cup ground beef mixture into each tortilla. Roll each tortilla around filling and place seam-side down into the prepared pan. Pour sauce over enchiladas, spreading to completely coat. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup Cheddar-Monterey Jack cheese over enchiladas.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and edges of casserole are browned, 30 to 35 minutes.
