Beef Enchilada Recipe

Jan 12, 2009

I get asked for my recipe for beef enchiladas since I make them all the time. I thought I would post it here instead of typing it over and over!

1 lb of ground sirloin
1 lb of mexican blend cheese
1 taco seasoning packet
6 low carb flour tortillas (I buy Mission brand - low carb)
1 can spicy enchilada sauce

Brown the ground sirloin and then add the taco seasoning packet and prepare per the instructions.

Set the oven to 350

Cover the bottom of a baking dish with enchilada sauce, I use an oblong corning ware dish, fit's 6 tortillas perfectly!

Spread enchilada sauce on the inside of one tortilla (I use a pastry brush) and then add taco meat, some cheese and roll up and place in a baking dish. Then cover the outside of the tortilla with more enchilada sauce using the pastry brush until it is completely covered.

Repeat process until all six tortillas are rolled up and in the baking dish. Pour as much of the rest of the enchilada sauce over top of the enchiladas and then top with the remainder of the cheese.

Baked at 350 for 30 minutes. I then let it cool and transfer it to a tupperware container and place in the refrigerator. I eat one at a time until gone. I did the math and came up with 14 grams protein and 9 grams of carbs per enchilada.

I reheat and serve with sour cream on top.

When making the enchiladas, you can add other things to the insides if you want, like green onion or tomato, but then you are really making burritos, not enchiladas! Just modify based on your preferences!

Enjoy!
