Instructions
Beef Mixture
  1. Heat large pan to medium/medium-high heat. Add ground beef. Allow to brown, and break up as it cooks (about 10 minutes). Once fat begins to separate, add chopped onions and bell pepper. Season with salt.
  2. As onions become translucent and beef is cooked through, add minced garlic. Saute two more minutes. Add water and taco seasonings. Stir to combine.
  3. Bring to boil, reduce to simmer and let cook for another 5-7 minutes until liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and set aside.
Enchilada Sauce
  1. Heat small pot to medium heat. Add butter. Once melted, add flour and chili powder, Cook 2 minutes until browned, then add chicken broth, canned tomatoes & chilies, and spices.
  2. Cook 5-7 minutes until bubbly and fragrant. Remove from heat. Use immersion blender to puree mixture. Put back on burner and simmer at low heat until just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Remove from heat.
Assembly
  1. Coat 9×13 glass baking dish with cooking spray, and then with enchilada sauce.
  2. Add one third enchilada mixture and one third cheese to beef mixture. Spoon into tortilla shells in log formation, from one end to another. Roll up, and place seam side down in pan. Repeat with remaining shells and mixture.
  3. Spoon remaining enchilada sauce over dish, making sure to coat all surface area of the tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese over top.
  4. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20-25 minutes in 400 degree Fahrenheit oven. Pull out if cheese is melty, remove foil, and bake 5 additional minutes until bubbly.
  5. Serve with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, rice, beans, or enjoy by itself!
