Ingredients:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 tablespoon olive oil<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 yellow onion finely diced<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 pound 80\/20 ground beef<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 tablespoons TAK\u2019s Tex-Mex Blend or a packet of store-bought taco seasoning, if desired<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 tablespoons unsalted butter<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6 tablespoons All-Purpose flour<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 cups unsalted beef broth*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 \u00bd teaspoon Kosher salt<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon cumin<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 teaspoon chili powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pinch of black pepper<\/p>\n\n\n\n

16-20 corn tortillas<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup Cheddar cheese freshly grated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 cup Monterrey Jack cheese freshly grated<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350\u00b0 and have ready a 9\u00d713\u201d greased casserole dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heat olive oil in a large saut\u00e9 pan over medium-high heat. Add onion and saut\u00e9 for 5-8 minutes until softened. Add ground beef along with TAK\u2019s Tex-Mex Blend, and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 10 minutes, or until no more pink shows and completely cooked through. Remove from the heat and transfer the meat mixture to a bowl. Set aside until ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Return saut\u00e9 pan to stovetop over medium heat. Add butter and allow to melt. Sprinkle over the flour and whisk to form a roux. Allow cooking for 2-3 minutes. Begin to add beef broth a splash at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition until all of the broth has been incorporated. Season with salt, cumin, chili powder, and pepper. Cook for an additional 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally and allowing to thicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add just enough sauce to the casserole dish to thinly coat the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add a \u00bc cup of each Monterrey Jack and Cheddar to the beef mixture and stir to evenly distribute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dampen two paper towels and wrap half of the tortillas in the towels. Repeat additional paper towels and the remaining tortillas. Heat in a microwave for thirty seconds to 1 minute, until warmed and pliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One at a time, add 2 tbsp of beef filling to a tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the dish. Continue to roll enchiladas, placing them side-by-side until you can no longer fit any more in the dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bake, covered with aluminum foil for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, uncovered. Allow to cool, serve and enjoy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
