Description

Two popular Mexican dishes collide into a delicious meal. Tender steak, flavorful onions and peppers, wrapped into tortillas and baked in tangy verde enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

  • 1 Tablespoon Oil
  • 2 whole Peppers, Your Choice (bell, Poblano, Cubanelle, Hungarian), Sliced Thin
  • 1 whole Large Onion, Sliced Thin
  • 1 Tablespoon Chili Powder
  • 1 Tablespoon Mexican Oregano (or Regular Oregano)
  • 1 pinch Salt And Pepper, to taste
  • 8 whole Whole Wheat Tortillas Or Wraps
  • 2 cups Pepper Jack Cheese, Shredded
  • 1-¼ pound Flank Steak, Cooked And Sliced
  • 1 can (10 Oz. Can) Old El Paso Verde Enchilada Sauce
  • 2 whole Green Onions, Chopped (optional For Garnish)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil and add sliced onion and peppers. Add chili powder, oregano, salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 10 minutes.

Warm tortillas in the microwave (on a plate with a moist paper towel) for about 20-30 seconds. Start to assemble tortillas by first adding a small amount of cheese, sliced steak and vegetable mixture. Roll up tortillas to form a “cigar” and place into a baking dish sprayed with nonstick spray. Once all enchiladas are assembled, pour sauce over all of the wrapped tortillas. Add a layer of cheese and place in the oven. Bake for about 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned and sauce is bubbling. Garnish with chopped green onion if desired.

I made this last night for the first time and it was fantastic!! I used chicken instead of the steak because I had it on hand, but that’s the only change I made. Absolutely fantastic!

I made this last night for the 2nd time. It’s a keeper recipe for sure! I substituted a thick sirloin and seasoned with Cavendar’s before I seared it in a hot cast iron skillet, and used monterey jack & some chipotle cheddar for the cheese then I followed the recipe otherwise. It is glorious!

I had 1.5 pounds of chicken tenders that had to be used today! So I substituted my chicken for the flank steak, and it was delicious! Otherwise, followed recipe to the letter. Of course chicken and flank steak taste nothing alike, but no one spoke at the table, everyone was too busy eating! Thanks!

I made this last week. My family liked it well enough, although no one was begging me to make it again. It was much faster to prepare than the usual way I make enchiladas, and it would be good with chicken too.
A good, versatile, quick weeknight recipe.

Very good, had this on the weekend minus the onions! Next time I think we will try it with chicken and add some mushrooms!
