7-26-10 Sour Cream Beef Enchiladas W/ Black Beans

OK, OK, so we went a little overboard with the gravy this weekend. It’s a new week and with that, back to healthier eating! Tonight we are having Sour Cream Beef Enchiladas. These are easy to make and great when re-heated for leftovers the next day.

Stuff you’ll need:

1 lb. of lean hamburger meat
1 package flour tortillas
1 can of diced green chiles
¼ of a medium sized white onion
I can Old El Paso Mild Green Chili Enchilada Sauce
1 lb (16 oz.) of Fat Free Sour Cream
1 Package of Lawry’s Taco Seasoning
2 cups of grated mozzarella or cheddar cheese
1 can Ranch Style Black Beans
Tortilla Chips
Hot Sauce
Limes
Tecate Beer in bottles

Chop onion in to small chunks and set aside. Spray ten inch skillet with Pam and turn on medium heat. Open first Tecate. Brown hamburger meat and crumble. Empty browned hamburger meat into colander and rinse (sounds gross but really cuts down the fat!!!). Return hamburger to skillet and add 1 cup of water. Add chopped onions, green chiles, taco seasoning, stir, and bring to boil. After 10 minutes, stir in sour cream and cook for an additional 15 minutes (save a little sour cream to use as dollops to top black beans). Remove from heat.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray 8 x 12 Pyrex dish with Pam. Fill flour tortilla with meat and add shredded cheese (I like a LOT of cheese but cuts the healthy factor a bit). Typically will hold 4 – 5 enchiladas per dish. Drizzle on green enchilada sauce to suit. Top with shredded cheese and sprinkle with paprika. Heat in oven for 15 minutes.

While waiting for enchiladas to bake, slice lime in half and quarter. Rub edge of lime around top of beer stein and salt. Drink ice-cold Tecates with limes squeezed in and eat chips (try the Tostitos with a Hint of Lime) and hot sauce. Heat black beans in microwave until steaming.

Serve enchilada, black beans with dollop of sour cream, chips, hot sauce, and more Tecate!!! You will like these and easy to double quantities for bigger crowds (or freeze for future consumption!!!).
Eat, drink, and enjoy!!!
