How to Make

  • Step 1: For the Enchilada Sauce: Puree all enchilada sauce ingredients (tomatoes, onion, garlic, jalapenos, oil, Sriracha sauce) in a blender. Set aside.

  • Step 2: For the Meat: Brown ground beef over medium-low heat until completely cooked. Drain fat. Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce into brown meat and stir, cooking about 2 minutes.

  • Step 3: For the Assembly: Preheat oven to 350º F.

  • Step 4: Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 oven-safe, casserole dish.

  • Step 5: Drizzle 3 tablespoons of oil into the bottom of a skillet over a medium-low heat. Add corn tortillas, one at a time, and cook for about 1 minute each. Do not allow to become crispy.

  • Step 6: Drain tortilla and then layer on beef, sour cream and cheese. Roll tortilla to keep all ingredients inside. Place rolls seam side down in the casserole dish. Once all enchiladas have been assembled and placed into casserole dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce over to make sure well covered. Top with more cheese.
