BEEF ENCHILADAS



yield: 4 to 6 servings

prep time: 30 minutes

cook time: 2 hours

total time: 2 hours 30 minutes
Wonderfully cheesy, saucy, and mildly spicy beef enchiladas.

INGREDIENTS:

3 cloves garlic, minced
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1¼ pounds boneless chuck steaks, trimmed of fat
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 yellow onions, finely chopped
1 (15-ounce) can tomato sauce
½ cup water
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded, divided
4 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded, divided
⅓ cup chopped fresh cilantro
¼ cup chopped canned pickled jalapeños
12 (6-inch) corn tortillas

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, chili powder, cumin, coriander, sugar and salt. 
2. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Sprinkle the meat with salt and cook until browned on both sides, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the meat to a plate. 
3. Reduce the heat to medium, add the onions to the pot and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic mixture and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the tomato sauce and water and bring to a boil. Return the meat and any accumulated juices to the pot, cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the meat is tender and can be broken apart easily, about 1½ hours.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
5. Strain the beef mixture over a medium bowl. Transfer the meat and any other solids to a separate medium bowl and break the beef into small pieces. Mix together with half of the shredded cheeses, the cilantro and the jalapeños. 
6. Spread ¾ cup of the sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Microwave the tortillas according to package directions to soften. Spread about ⅓ cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, roll up tightly, and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas and spread to ensure that all of the ends are covered in sauce. 
7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over top of the enchiladas, cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the cheese browns slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Make-Ahead: The beef filling and sauce can be prepared through step #5 and refrigerated in separate containers for up to 2 days. Prepare the rest of the recipe as directed, increasing the covered baking time by 5 minutes.

    Posole (food52dotcom)
    Green Chile, Chicken, Posole Soup
    • 2 pounds green Poblano chili peppers
    • 1 pound chicken breast, roasted or bbq'd
    • 2 cups posole (Rancho Gordo is my favorite)
    • 1 medium onion, diced
    • 1 large bunch of fresh oregano
    • 6 cups chicken stock
    • 1/2 head of Napa cabbage, shredded
    • 3 or 4 cloves of garlic, peeled
    • 1 lime, cut into wedges
    • salt to taste
    1. Soak the posole for at least 3 hours or overnight. Add 10 cups of water and about 3 or 4 cloves of peeled garlic and cook over medium heat for about 3 hours or until tender to the taste. Watch carefully as it is cooking and add more water as needed.
    2. Roast the Poblano peppers over a gas flame, under a broiler or easiest of all , on the BBQ. After all sides are blackened, cover them in a bowl or place in a plastic bag or paper bag. Cool and the skins will slip off effortlessly. Remove the stem and the seeds.
    3. Saute the onions in a little bit of olive oil. Roast the chicken breasts. (or BBQ them) Shred the chicken.
    4. In a blender, put the sauteed onions, the garlic cloves, about a third to half of the cooked posole, 3 tablespoons of fresh oregano, the peppers and 4 cups of the chicken stock and blend until smooth. (you may have to do a couple batches)
    5. Pour the blended mixture into the pot with the remaining posole and add the shredded chicken and the remaining 2 cups of chicken stock and simmer for at least an hour. If the soup seems too thick, add some more chicken stock or water.
    6. Shred the Napa cabbage and strip the leaves off the oregano. To serve the soup, ladle into soup bowls, put a small mound of cabbage on top and garnish with oregano. Serve with a wedge of fresh lime.

    Carne Asada

    I
    2 Lb. carne asada or skirt steak (sliced very thin) 
    Marinade:
    1/4 c. adobo sauce (not adobo paste, if you are having a hard time finding it, you can get the canned chilies in adobo sauce and just use the sauce from it)
    1/4 c. vinegar
    1/4 c. soy sauce
    1/4 c. beef broth
    4 oz. can diced chilies
    2 Tbsp. diced jalapeno (canned is fine)
    1 onion, finely diced
    4 cloves garlic, minced
    1/2 bunch cilantro
    1 1/2 Tbsp. fresh oregano (or about 1 tsp. dried)
    7 shakes green Tabasco sauce
    juice of 1 lime

    Combine marinade ingredients. Add carne asada to marinade (separate out the slices so it all gets evenly covered in the marinade) Place meat and marinade in a Ziploc bag, squeeze out all the air, and seal tightly. Allow to marinate overnight (or at least 6-8 hours). Heat grill to medium-high heat and place meat on grill for about 1-2 minutes on each side (it is way thin so it will cook through quickly). Remove from grill and serve (if you are putting the carne asada in something.. like burritos, tacos, quesadillas... etc.. cut the carne asada into smaller, bite sized-pieces or slices).
