Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover steak, sliced or shredded
- 8 flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 cup cooked white or brown rice (optional)
- 1 cup black beans (optional, drained and rinsed)
- 1 small can diced green chilies (optional)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or butter.
In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm the leftover steak slices for 2-3 minutes, seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
If using rice, black beans, or diced green chilies, mix them together in a bowl to create a filling mixture for the enchiladas.
Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Add a small amount of steak, cheese, and optional filling (rice, beans, or chilies) to the center of the tortilla.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese evenly across the top of the enchiladas.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with sour cream on the side.
