Cheesy Chorizo Enchiladas Recipes

CHORIZO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef and chorizo together. Once cooked through pour the meat through a strainer to get rid of all the grease. Return the meat to the skillet.
• Add all of the seasonings to the meat (dried oregano, salt, garlic powder, onion powder). Stir to combine.
• Prepare the tortillas for filling by heating a cast iron skillet with about 1/2 cup oil (canola or vegetable oil). Once the oil is hot enough that it sizzles when you dip in the tortilla then gently place one tortilla at a time into the oil. Allow the tortilla to fry in the oil for about 10 seconds, just long enough to get a slight coloring. Then flip the tortilla and fry the other side. Remove the tortilla, wrap it in a towel to retain the heat and continue with the remaining tortillas.
• If you want to dip each tortilla into the enchilada sauce this is the time to do it, then add the fillings.
• Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef and chorizo mixture onto the tortillas, then roll and place in a baking dish, seam side down. Continue until all the tortillas are filled.
• Pour enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas.
• Bake at 350 for about 15 minutes, then open the oven, sprinkle cheese on the top of the enchiladas and continue baking for another 5 minutes.
• Serve warm with rice and beans, or a side salad for a complete meal.

CHORIZO, EGG AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• For the sauce: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the jalapeno, onion and a pinch of salt and cook until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, crushed red pepper and black pepper and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in the sugar, chiles and stock and remove from the heat. Blend in a food processor or blender until smooth. Return it to the pan and simmer for 20 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
• For the filling: Spread the tots out on a sheet pan, then sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside, then reduce the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chorizo, breaking it up with a wooden spoon until fully cooked. Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a large bowl. Reserve a thin coating of fat in the skillet and discard any excess. Add the onion and a pinch of salt to the skillet and cook until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the eggs and scramble, cooking until just set. (Err on the side of them being underdone, since they'll continue to cook in the oven.) Transfer to the bowl with the chorizo and fold to combine. Season to taste (you may decide not to add any salt, since the chorizo has salt).
• Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch glass baking dish. Arrange the tortillas on a work surface. Spoon a heaping 1/3 cup of the egg mixture onto each tortilla. Top with a handful of the cheese and 6 potato tots. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them seam-side down in the baking dish. Top evenly with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheese. Bake until the cheese is browned, about 40 minutes.
• Top with dollops of sour cream, jalapenos, radishes and fresh cilantro and serve.

CHEESY CHILI ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• Warm oil in a small skillet. Use tongs to dip tortillas into the oil one at a time, turning to warm both sides. Sprinkle an even amount of Cheddar cheese down the center of each warmed tortilla. Roll tortillas to enclose cheese; place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
• Combine the chili, onion, and half of the processed cheese in a large bowl. Pour the chili mixture over the tortillas; top with the remaining processed cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbly, about 20 minutes.

SUPER EASY CHEESY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• First, you want to mix the first four ingredients together until they are really well combined. Seriously, you will not see any little shreds of cheese and it will have the texture of stiff play dough (this is important).
• Preheat your oven to 350 and grab a pan. I used an 11x7 inch oval baking dish, but you can also use an 8inch square.
• Pour about 1/4 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the pan and swirl the pan until the bottom is coated.
• Reach in with your clean hands and grab about 2 tablespoons of cheese mixture in your hands and shape into a log. Roll a tortilla around this log and place in the pan. Repeat for the rest of the cheese and tortillas.
• Pour the rest of the sauce on top, spreading it to cover.
• Sprinkle the last 1/2 cup of cheese on top, and place in the oven. Bake 20-30 minutes or until hot and bubbly.
• For OAMC: Freeze before cooking, thaw in refrigerator and bake according to directions.

CHEESY SEAFOOD ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Add shrimp and snapper; cook until shrimp turn pink, 5-7 minutes. Remove from pan., In the same pan, cook and stir salsa, cream cheese, chiles and salt over medium heat just until cream cheese is melted. Stir in 1 cup shredded cheese; remove from heat., Spread 1 cup cheese sauce into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Gently stir remaining cheese sauce into shrimp mixture. Place 1/3 cup shrimp mixture off center on each tortilla. Roll up and place in prepared dish, seam side down. Sprinkle with remaining cheese., Cover and bake until heated through and cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro before serving.

CHEESY CHORIZO TAQUITOS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and sauté for 6 minutes, until slightly tender and fragrant. Add the green chiles, chipotles, and adobo sauce, and cook for 2 minutes, until fully incorporated.
• Add the beef chorizo, cumin, paprika, cinnamon, and salt, and cook, breaking up the chorizo with a wooden spoon, for 10-14 minutes, until the chorizo is cooked through and crispy. Remove the pan from the heat and let the chorizo mixture cool slightly.
• In a small bowl, combine the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses.
• Assemble the taquitos: Wrap the tortillas loosely in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45-60 seconds, until soft and pliable.
• Set a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle with 1½-2 tablespoons of the cheese blend. Spoon 1½ tablespoons of the chorizo mixture in a line on one end of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, securing with a toothpick. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, cheese, and chorizo filling.
• In a medium, high-walled pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-low heat until it reaches 325°F (160°C). Working in batches, fry the taquitos starting seam side down for 2-3 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly, then remove the toothpicks.
• Arrange the taquitos on a platter and drizzle with the crema, then top with the lettuce, tomato, avocado, and any remaining cheese. Or top with lettuce, scallions, avocado, Fresno chilies, and any remaining cheese.
• Serve immediately.
• Enjoy!

CHEESY CHORIZO ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 220. Halve, peel and thinly slice the onion. Halve, then remove the core from the green pepper and thinly slice. Drain and rinse the black beans in a sieve, then finely chop the parsley. Zest the lime.
• Heat a slug of oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add the chorizo. Cook for 5 mins then remove from the pan and set aside. Add the onion and pepper to the pan and cook for 5 mins until soft. Stir in the tomato purée and fajita mix (use as much as you want, to taste) and cook for a further minute. Add the black beans, chorizo and 125ml of water. Cover the pan with a lid (or plate if no lid available) and cook for 5 mins.
• Once cooked, remove the lid/plate and simmer for 3-4 mins, until the liquid has almost evaporated. Put the mixture into a bowl and roughly mash. Add the parsley and lime zest, then season with salt and pepper as required. Lay the tortillas on a chopping board, spoon the mixture into the centre of each (evenly across all 4 wraps) and roll them up into enchiladas.
• Drizzle a little oil into a baking tray/ovenproof dish and lay all of the tortillas into the tray, with the folded edge downwards so they don't unroll. Spoon the crème fraîche over the top and spread out evenly. Sprinkle grated cheese over the top then bake in the oven for 15-18 mins, until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, squeeze the lime juice into a bowl and add the olive oil and honey. Season with salt and pepper to taste and whisk together with a fork. Halve the cucumber lengthways, scrape out the seeds with a teaspoon and chop the flesh into chunks. Trim the root from the lettuce, then half lengthways and thinly slice widthways. Mix the lettuce and cucumber and cover with the dressing. Toss to complete your side salad.
• When the enchiladas are cooked, remove from your oven and leave to cool for 2 mins before serving. Serve 2 enchiladas per person with the citrus side salad.
