Spicy Chipotle Enchiladas Recipe


Spicy Chipotle Enchiladas Recipe
New flavor on a family favorite. The smokiness of the chipotle peppers bring a nice flavor to the enchiladas. Goes great with homemade sauce and spanish rice!

Ingredients
  • 1 small can chipotle chilis
  • 1 medium white onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 TBSP ground Cumin
  • 1 1/2 pounds ground sirloin, or shredded chicken
  • 18 corn tortillas
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 jalapeno, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and Pepepr
  • Enchilada Sauce (as much or as little as you prefer)

Directions
  1. Pre-heat oven to 400.
  2. Lightly grease 13x9 casserole pan.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over med-high heat.
  4. DIP tortillas in oil, for just about 2-3 seconds. (you don't want to cook them, just basically get them wet.)
  5. Set tortillas aside to drain. (I recommend using cookie racks. Just put paper towels on the counter, under the rack.)
  6. Remove 3-4 chipotle peppers from the can and chop in a food processor with the garlic. (It will look like a sort of chunky paste.)
  7. Brown hamburger meat with onion.
  8. Once cooked through, drain any fat, and return to pan. (If you are using chicken, once it is cooked, just shred it and toss it in the pan)
  9. With the burner on low heat, add jalapeno, salt and pepper, and Chipotle and garlic paste.
  10. Mix well.
  11. Spoon about 2 healthy TBSP of the meat mixture into the tortillas, and roll up firmly.
  12. Place into 13x9 casserole dish, and top with cheese.
  13. Pour enchilada sauce on top of cheese, and bake, uncovered, for about 20 minutes.
