Enchiladas de Res are a mouthwatering staple of Mexican cuisine, featuring tender shredded beef rolled in soft corn tortillas, generously smothered in a rich, savory sauce, and topped with melted cheese. This dish is not only a comforting family favorite but also a celebration of flavors, with its roots tracing back to the Aztec civilization, where tortillas were a key part of the diet. The combination of spices and fresh ingredients makes this dish a true delight for the senses.

Servings: 6

Ingredients

Beef (shredded)
2 cups, cooked
Corn tortillas
12
Vegetable oil
2 tablespoons
Onion
1, diced
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Cumin
1 teaspoon
Chili powder
2 teaspoons
Salt
1 teaspoon
Pepper
1/2 teaspoon
Chicken broth
2 cups
Tomato sauce
1 cup
Shredded cheese
2 cups (cheddar or mexican blend)
Fresh cilantro
1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the shredded beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. In a separate saucepan, combine the tomato sauce and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
  5. Dip each corn tortilla into the simmering sauce for about 10-15 seconds to soften. Remove and place on a plate.
  6. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
  7. Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are fully covered.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, and enjoy your homemade enchiladas de res!
