To make these enchiladas, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (15 ounces) tomato sauce
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- Sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro, for serving
To start, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through. Add the diced red pepper, onion, and garlic, and cook for another 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Add the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper to the skillet, and stir to combine. Pour in the tomato sauce and diced green chilies, and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortillas tightly, and place them seam-side down in a large baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beef mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas, and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
These Beef and Red Pepper Enchiladas are the perfect combination of spicy and savory, with a rich tomato sauce and tender beef filling. The red bell pepper adds a sweet and slightly smoky flavor, while the melted cheddar cheese adds a creamy and indulgent touch. This dish is sure to become a family favorite, and it's perfect for any occasion!
