Green Chile Ground Beef & Cheese Stacked Enchiladas
Instructions:
1. Cook the Ground Beef:
In a skillet, sauté onions in a bit of oil until translucent.
Add ground beef, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Cook until browned. Drain excess fat and set aside.
2. Make the Green Chile Sauce:
In a saucepan, heat oil or butter and stir in flour to form a roux.
Stir constantly for 1 minute, then slowly add broth.
Add chopped green chiles, cumin, and salt.
Simmer for 10–15 minutes until thickened.
3. Fry the Tortillas:
Lightly fry each tortilla in oil just until pliable. Drain on paper towels.
4. Assemble the Stack (for each serving):
On an oven-safe plate or dish:
Spread a spoonful of green chile sauce.
Add a tortilla.
Top with beef, sauce, and cheese.
Repeat for 3–4 layers.
Finish with lots of cheese and a drizzle of sauce.
5. Bake:
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes, or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
🌮 Pro Tips:
Use freshly roasted Hatch green chiles if available — they’re worth it!
You can make a whole casserole dish of these by layering like lasagna and baking.
