Ingredients
  

Sour Cream Enchilada Sauce

  • 1/4 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup mushrooms diced
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1 clove garlic minced or pressed
  • 6 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp cilantro dried
  • black pepper to taste
  • 16 ounces sour cream
  • 1/4 cup canned jalapeno juice (optional)
  • canned jalapenos to taste (also optional)

Enchilidas & Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small sweet onion diced
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • extra large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
  • dried cilantro for topping

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Begin by making sauce, melt butter in skillet and saute diced celery, mushrooms and garlic together until tender.
  • Add in flour and stir until all liquid is soaked up. Continue to brown in pan for an additional minute to cook flour.
  • Remove from heat. While whisking or stirring, slowly pour in broth and milk until well combined, ensuring there are no lumps of flour remaining.
  • Add cilantro and pepper, stir and transfer into saucepan. Return to low heat.
  • Stir in sour cream, desired amount of jalapenos and juice. Bring to a low simmer while preparing filling.
  • To prepare filling, brown ground beef with onion, salt and pepper in the same skillet until beef is cooked and onions are translucent in color. Drain.
  • Add half of sauce mixture into beef mixture and stir until combined. Set remaining sauce aside.
  • Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and top with cheese (about 1/2 cup of meat mixture with 2-3 tbsp of cheese). Roll with edges tucked in and place into a well-greased baking dish. Fill pan with the sides of the enchiladas touching.
  • Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with remaining cheese & cilantro.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is slightly browned and sauce is bubbly. Serve hot and enjoy!
