My grandma lived in New Mexico for most of her life and made these for us when we would visit. It was one of our most requested meals to her. You can make them spicier by adding some cayenne pepper. She always had some kind of special chili powder that was native to New Mexico which was really good!

How To Make ranch style enchiladas

  • Step 1
    Brown ground beef in large skillet or dutch oven. Add enchilada sauce, tomato sauce, and green chilies. Mix well together and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  • Step 2
    Dip corn tortilla in sauce until soft and lay flat on plate. Ladle some meat and sauce, then add some cheese so it will melt. Top with lettuce, tomato, and onion (if desired). Add another tortilla which has been dipped in the sauce, more cheese, lettuce, tomato, and onion.
  • Step 3
    As the main topper, fry an egg over-easy or medium and lay on top of enchiladas.
