homemade beef enchiladas
I love to make sauces from scratch. They always taste better to me than canned. Same for spices. I like making my own spice mixes.

How To Make homemade beef enchiladas
-
Step 1Mix the ingredients for the spice mix together and set aside.
-
Step 2Make the sauce. Add the oil to a large saucepan and whisk in the flour. Add 2 Tbsp of the spice mix and pour in the chicken broth. Keep whisking and then pour in the tomato sauce. Whisk until thickened and warmed through; set aside and keep warm.
-
Step 3To make the filling, add the oil to a saucepan. Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until it's no longer pink. Add the remaining spice mix and stir in the strained black beans. Add about 2 Tbsp of the enchilada sauce.

Step 4To assemble: Lay the tortillas out on a counter. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place a small amount of sauce in the bottom of the baking pan. A 9x15 pan should work.
-
Step 5Spread a little refried beans on half of each tortilla. Spread half of the cheese over the other half of the tortilla. Top with equal amounts of the beef filling on top of each tortilla. Roll up and place in the baking pan. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Cover with foil and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and remove the foil. Sprinkle the jalapeno pepper over the top. Then top with the remaining cheese. Place back in the oven for 10 more minutes until cheese is melted. Serve immediately.
