Enchiladas
- 1 whole Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 whole Chili Pepper
- 1 cup, 4 tablespoons, 3/4 teaspoons, 1-78 pinches Tomato Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
- 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
- 1/2 pounds, 78 ounces, weight Minced Beef
- 1 Tablespoon Gravy Powder
- 1 whole Bell Pepper
- 1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise Or Sour Cream
- 1/2 cups Grated Cheese, Plus Extra To Sprinkle On Top Or Enchiladas
- 1 can (15 Oz. Can) Kidney Beans
- 4 whole Tortilla Wraps
- Chop your onion, garlic and chilli pepper in a rough dice.
- Fry 1/3 of the chopped vegetables into a large pan, and the other 2/3 in a small pan.
- The large pan is for the tortilla filling, and the small pan for the sauce.
- Fry on medium heat until softened.
- Add the tomato sauce to the small pan.
- You need a fairly thick sauce, enough to bind the meat together and cover the final dish.
- Let the pan simmer for a few moments before adding chili powder and sugar to taste, along with other herbs and spices if desired.
- It should taste sweet and spicy, a little like a salsa.
- Season to taste.
- In the large pan, add the minced beef once the onions have been softened.
- If you have some, sprinkle some gravy powder over the mince in its first few seconds of cooking, to darken it a little and make the mixture more gluey when it you start spooning it into the tortillas.
- Chop the bell pepper and add it to the sauce for a couple of minutes, enough to heat it through but not to turn it into mush.
- Once the beef is almost entirely cooked through, add about 2/3 of the sauce to the pan with the beef, trying to get most of the big lumps of onion and pepper in.
- Stir through and season again.
- Turn off the heat under the small pan.
- Add mayonnaise/sour cream and grated cheese to the cooked mince and stir through.
- Get your kidney beans, drain and rinse them, and put them in the microwave on high for one minute.
- Mash the beans roughly with a fork and put back in the microwave for another minute to soften them further.
- Mash again, and spread on the bottom of an oven-proof dish.
- Spoon a quarter of the mince mixture into a tortilla and roll it up.
- Place the tortillas in the dish, on top of the layer of smashed kidney beans.
- Repeat with the other three tortillas.
- Cover the tortillas with the remaining sauce, sprinkle with grated cheese, and bake at 180 degrees (360 Fahrenheit) for twenty minutes.
- Serve, happily.
