Enchiladas are a popular Mexican dish that consists of rolled tortillas filled with meat and cheese and covered in enchilada sauce. They are a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of meats and vegetables, and can be customized to suit different tastes and dietary needs. In this recipe, we use ground beef or chicken, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, and a blend of spices to create a flavorful filling that is rolled up in corn tortillas. The enchiladas are topped with more sauce and cheese before being baked in the oven until golden and bubbly.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
2.In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken until browned. Add in the onion and garlic and cook for an additional minute.
3.Add in the Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and seasonings. Cook for 5 minutes.
4.In a separate shallow pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Fry the tortillas for 1-2 seconds until soft.
5.In a 9x13 inch baking dish, pour in half of the enchilada sauce. Coat each tortilla with the remaining enchilada sauce.
6.Divide the meat mixture evenly onto each tortilla and sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the baking dish.
7.Pour any remaining enchilada sauce on top of the rolled tortillas. Add more cheese on top if desired.
