A comforting dish of Tex-Mex cubed steak enchiladas that blends hearty flavors with vibrant seasonings, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb cubed steak (or substitute with ground beef, chicken, or mushrooms)
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 cup tomato sauce (or homemade salsa)
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add a drizzle of olive oil. Sauté diced onions and minced garlic until fragrant.
- Add cubed steak, season with salt, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for about 10 minutes until the steak is cooked through.
- Pour in tomato sauce or salsa, allowing it to simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Warm tortillas until pliable. Fill each tortilla with a spoonful of the beef mixture and cheese, then roll tightly.
- Place filled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Pour remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with extra cheese.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream or avocado.
Notes
For spiciness, feel free to add jalapeños. For a vegetarian option, swap the steak for black beans. Let sauce simmer for richer flavors.
