I mean let's be honest, Beef + Cheese + Spicy + Enchiladas = LOVE!!
Mexican food is a favorite in our home, and its the only time I eat spicy food. There are so many ways I make enchiladas for my family. I use shredded beef or chicken, ground beef, cubed chicken, sausage, eggs, fish, almost anything. One of our new favorites is my Authentic Spicy Chicken Tacos! If you haven't tried them yet, well, you are in for a delicious surprise! If you are a cilantro fan, well then you simply must try our Cilantro Lime Chicken and Rice!
Creamy and Spicy Beef Enchiladas
At first glance this may look like a difficult recipe, because it has many ingredients, but this an easy beef enchilada recipe. If you have kids you may want to omit the jalapenos. I have one picky child who hates beef so she just had rolled up tortillas minus the meat, nice right? This was too spicy for my youngest, you can adjust to your liking or leave it out, I don't recommend that though.
CAN I USE CHICKEN OR PORK INSTEAD OF BEEF IN THIS CREAMY ENCHILADA RECIPE?
Absolutely! You could substitute another protein! They will be equally as delish!
COULD I MAKE ENCHILADAS AHEAD OF TIME AND FREEZE THEM?
Yes! Just prepare the enchiladas as the recipe says. Instead of putting the enchiladas in a casserole or pan, put them into a disposable foil pan. Then once they are ready to be frozen, wrap with plastic wrap then wrap again with foil.
Let the enchiladas thaw in the fridge and then cook as directed. Or if you place the frozen pan directly in the oven, allow extra time so everything is thoroughly warmed up.
WHAT INGREDIENTS ARE NEEDED TO MAKE THIS BEEF ENCHILADAS RECIPE?
