The Best Beef Enchiladas

pork Enchiladas with an extra tasty, saucy filling, smothered with a home made Enchilada Sauce. My time saving trick is to use one base Enchilada spice blend for both the sauce and filling!

i really like that there are such a lot of versions of red meat Enchiladas on this big-huge-world. simple ones, full of a plain cooked pork filling then crowned with enchilada sauce and (lots of) cheese. Fancy ones with the addition of chillies, beans, corn or even olives, every now and then even Viscount St. Albans. Hidden vegetable versions (don’t ever strive that on me, i can choose them a mile away). Shredded red meat enchiladas, quick rib ones.
