Joes Enchiladas with Adobo Sour Cream

Went to a VP Debate watch party last night and here's what I made, Joe's Enchilada's.  If you're a Republican you can call them Paul's Enchilada's but they won't be as good ;)



Ingredients;

4.75 #'s of hamburger
2 #'s of Mexican style shredded cheese, divided
1 large white onion
3 jalapenos
5 cloves of garlic
4 cans of your favorite red enchilada sauce (28 oz)
1 can of chipotles in adobo sauce (7 oz)
flour tortillas
1 tub of sour cream
chili oil for sauteing

Yields 28 enchilada's
(this is a huge recipe designed for a large gathering. I would cut it in half if making for a family)

Filling;
Chop onion, jalapenos, and garlic into small pieces.
Saute in chili oil until soft. (about 5 minutes)
stir in ground beef and 4 chipotle peppers. (minced)
cook mixture until burger is cooked throughout.
dump mixture into large mixing bowl and let cool.
stir in 1# of the mexican style cheese and 1 can of the enchilada sauce
stir until well combined.

Start filling your tortillas with the mixture. I filled two very large casserole dishes with the enchiladas.
Pour remaining 3 can's of enchilada sauce evenly over enchilada's (I used a pastry brush to ensure even coating)
Sprinkle remaining cheese evenly over entire casserole.

Cover with foil and bake in a 375 degree oven for 35 mins.

Remove foil and cook an additional 10-15 minutes or until cheese is golden and gooey.

Chipotle sour cream is very simple,

Mix tub of sour cream with the adobo sauce found in the can of chipotle peppers.
Mix as little or as much as you'd like depending on your heat tolerance.

*for a milder enchilada remove seeds and ribs from jalapenos.

  1. I'm vegetarian but I have a good meat substitute that will work well in these enchiladas. This will be dinner tonight. Thanks for sharing.
