This enchilada recipe is a bold and flavorful take on a classic Mexican dish, combining spicy, tangy, and savory elements. Ground beef is seasoned with a rich, homemade enchilada seasoning blend, then wrapped in tortillas along with a vibrant purple onion and jalapeño salsa, and shredded cheese. The enchiladas are baked in a bath of enchilada sauce until golden and bubbly. A spicy Sriracha-lime sauce adds a zesty kick when drizzled over the enchiladas, while cooling guacamole and sour cream provide a creamy contrast. This dish delivers layers of flavors—spicy, smoky, tangy, and creamy—all in one meal.

Instructions

Step 1

Cook the Beef: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat and stir in 1 tablespoon of the Enchilada Seasoning Blend. Mix well.

Step 2

Prepare the Enchiladas: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon some of the seasoned beef, a few tablespoons of Purple Onion and Jalapeño Salsa, and a sprinkle of shredded cheese onto the center of the tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese. If using Lippia graveolens, sprinkle it over the top before baking.

Step 3

Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 4

Prepare the Sriracha-Lime Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the Sriracha sauce and lime juice. Adjust to taste if needed.

Step 5

Serve: Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle the Sriracha-lime sauce over the enchiladas. Garnish with guacamole and sour cream on the side.
