Ingredients

For the Beef Filling:

• 2 lbs ground beef
• 3/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 ½ teaspoons comino (cumin)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chili powder
• 1 ½ tablespoons paprika
• 1 ½ lbs grated cheese (reserve some for topping)
• 20 – 30 corn tortillas

For the Sauce:

• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ½ cup flour
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ¾ teaspoon comino
• 3 ½ cups water

Instructions

1. Cook the Beef: In a pan, cook the beef with 3/4 cups of water until done. Stir in the salt, comino, garlic powder, chili powder, and paprika. Add the flour last and cook for a bit longer. Remove from heat, mix in most of the cheese, and set aside.
2. Make the Sauce: In a pot, heat the vegetable oil, then stir in the flour to avoid lumps. Add the chili powder, paprika, salt, garlic powder, and comino. Gradually whisk in the water and continue stirring until the sauce thickens slightly.
3. Prep the Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Dip the tortillas in the warm sauce, place them in a baking dish, and fill each one with the beef mixture. Roll the tortillas and line them up in the dish.
4. Assemble the Enchiladas: Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged, sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
6. Serve: Serve your Beef Enchiladas hot, perhaps with a side of rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
