Hey Cookaholics, Chef Kendra here and today we are making some delicious
enchiladas so let's do what we do and make it happen we have some 8515 ground
beef homemade flour tortillas salted butter
garlic powder crushed tomatoes roasted garlic regular garlic some salt black
pepper chili powder cumin ground sage flour onion pepper jack cheese mild
cheddar cheese we have some chirps which are tiny sweet little tomatoes and we
have jalapeno we're gonna start with a little prep what I love about enchiladas
is the warm spices and the rich flavors it's basically a casserole and the thing
about casseroles that I particularly love is that they always seem to take
simple ingredients and elevate them that's how good players can become great
from group with the right teammates it's that type of thing ok guys we're gonna
get cooking here this is one of my favorite dishes so we're gonna start by
getting the temperature to medium now we're gonna add the ground beef and
onions
now I'm start breaking up the meat and onions nothing to this guys we're just
gonna stir and cook until the ground beef is cooked through take about ten
minutes waiting for that ground beef to brown we're stirring and cooking it and
we have 14 ounces of canned crushed tomatoes now use a brand that's
delicious use a brand that you like because it really makes a difference
and here we have some ancho chili powder we have some flour we have our salt
garlic powder cumin and we have our sage that's the next step we just gotta wait
for our ground beef to cook now I have a couple of favorite brands but this is
one of them I can't even pronounce that what is it to toast so to throw so
crushed tomatoes with basil I really like this product but again you got to
go with your taste now you're saying hey they just crush some tomatoes tossed a
little basil in there you know don't they all taste the same
no because the tomatoes they use come from different areas they have different
acidity levels which means some are sweet and some are can be a little
bitter little acidic so give a couple of try and see what you and your family
likes as you can see guys this is cooking nicely now I bet you're
wondering why we didn't really add any seasonings yet well here's the thing
sometimes I like to ask seasoning at the beginning of the ground beef before this
I really want the flavor intense if I add the seasoning now a lot will get
drained off because once this stuff is brown we're gonna drain it
this is where we want to be you see all that liquid we're gonna drain that off
and then I'll come back at those wonderful spices okay we strength it you
can see the difference go to add our seasonings you know I'm gonna stir this
until all the seasonings are mixed in well that all that stuff is all over
everything
now I'm a cover this and let it simmer about 15 minutes move this to another
burner and we're gonna make our sauce we've got a more custom a toes got a
water we got our flour we have our ancho chili powder we have our sage cumin salt
keeping with the same flavors we've got some butter we got our garlic the
roasted garlic the regular garlic here salt and pepper in there too
okay let's get to it first thing we're gonna do is get some butter in here
get this over medium heat we know that it start melting a little bit and this
is just the same spatula I was using before I'm gonna get that garlic the two
types to roast it to regular black pepper in there a little salt and get
that in there this baby goes in
mix in here go to the water
now I'm gonna cook do this a little stir up the whisk up until it starts to
become thick okay you can add the tomatoes
in these seasonings
now the temperature is on low yo you can find this another fire recipes that chef
Kendra that weebly.com that chef Kendra had weebly.com you know I got you you
wanna make sure everything in here is mixed well gonna take a taste to see if
the seasoning is okay that's good
alright then turn that off and we're still waiting for our ground beef
mixture to finish getting this simmer on now for the fun part we get to put these
guys together okay the first thing we'll do here
add some sauce to the bottom

microwave for like I like to do like three or four at a time in about 20
seconds I'm adding some filling little cheese

here spray it with a little vegetable spray this is real vegetable oil just a
little miss miss now next thing we're gonna do top this with the rest of the
sauce okay guys what we're gonna do now is get this in a preheated 350 degree
oven for 40 minutes we're gonna cover it with foil after 40 minutes we're gonna
pull the foil off sprinkle it with our remaining cheese and bake for another 20
minutes or until the cheese melts
