Munchie Monday- Family Dish

This week I'm sharing with you guys a dish that has been passed down through my boyfriends family. His abuelita (grandma) has passed this to his mom, his mom to him and him to me. Now I'm sharing it with you guys! Enjoy! :)

Beef Enchiladas

Ingredients:

My boyfriend thought this looked cool LOL!

1lb Ground beef

2 Roma tomatoes

1-1 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (about half a bundle)

1-1 1/2 cup chopped onion

1/4 teaspoon garlic salt (we like to add a little extra)

1/4 teaspoon steak seasoning

1/5 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon ground cumin

3 cups pinto beans

oil

corn tortillas

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef, while its browning add cumin, salt, steak seasoning and garlic salt.

This is when it's cooked down some.

2. Drain ground beef. Add cilantro, onion and tomatoes and cook with the ground beef for about 5 minutes on medium heat. Don't forget to stair and it will cook down so if it looks like a lot don't worry.

It may not look good but its delicious!

3. Put the beans on to boil. You know that they are ready when they aren't hard anymore. Take about 2/3-1/2 of the entire pot drained and and them to the ground beef mixture and mash them with the mixture.

We like using cast-iron skillets!

4. Pour oil in a small skillet about half full. Heat oil up on medium-high heat. Fry 1 tortilla at a time for 10-20 seconds on each side. Shake off extra oil with a non-fried tortilla.

I had the flash on the aren't as greasy as the picture shows.

5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the ground beef mixture in a tortilla, roll and set on a serving platter and form a pyramid with each enchiladas to keep them warm.

Our snack! Just the ground mixture on a slice of bread.

6. Serve with shredded cheese and or the green sauce on top with rice and the remaining beans on the side. These will make quite a few the most we made was like 24+. They taste good as leftovers!

Green Sauce

Ingredients:

1/2 bundle (1-1 1/2 cup)Cilantro

2 Large Tomatillos

1/2 Onion

2 Roma tomatoes
3 large Jalapenos
Garlic
Salt

Directions:

1.  Place all items in a medium sauce pan and boil till tender.

2. Take each item out and place in a blender. Try not to get any of  the water, a little is okay but you don't want little to no water!

3. Add one clove of garlic and a pinch or two of salt. Liquefy it in the blender. This sauce is NOT suppose to be chunky at all its suppose to be smooth.
