Ingredients
  

  • 10 tortillas any kind (I used ones that were half corn half wheat)
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 Jalapeno diced
  • 1 package taco seasoning I used a homemade seasoning mix (see notes)
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 3 Tbsp salted butter
  • 1/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese to sprinkle all on top

Instructions
 

  • In a large frying pan, brown the hamburger meat, diced onion, and diced jalapeno.
  • Once the meat is cooked, add in the taco seasoning, water, and garlic
  • Remove meat from pan into a bowl and set aside.
  • Add butter to the pan. Once melted, whisk in the flour.
  • Add beef broth and whisk until smooth.
  • Add the chili powder, ground cumin, and salt.
  • Bring to a simmer then turn off heat once it thickens.
  • In a 9x13 casserole dish, coat the bottom with a few table spoons of the sauce.
  • Assemble the enchiladas. Place a few tablespoons of the beef mixture into each tortilla and line the dish with them. (warming the tortillas first in the microwave makes them easier to handle).
  • Pour all of the gravy sauce over the top of the enchiladas.
  • Sprinkle the top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Tightly cover with foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 min (take the foil off during the last 10 minutes)
  • Great topped with sour cream and jalapenos. Enjoy!
