Beef Picadillo Enchiladas
Ingredients:
Beef Picadillo Enchiladas
Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 green bell pepper, diced
- 1 pound 80-percent lean ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- One 14-ounce can crushed tomatoes
- 1/4 cup green olives, sliced
- 1/4 cup golden raisins
- Twelve 6-inch corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Cheddar (about 8 ounces)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, the onion, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes.
- Add the ground beef, five-spice, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, olives, and raisins. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat the remaining oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Once shimmering, heat the tortillas, one at a time, in the hot oil until they bubble and darken slightly, about 10 seconds per side. Drain on paper towels.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of ground beef picadillo mixture on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
- Put about 1/4 cup picadillo and 1 tablespoon Cheddar down the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and lay them in the baking dish, seam side down.
- Spoon the rest of the picadillo over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas until the tortillas are slightly crisp and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
