Asian Salad

Souper Enchiladas

Do you like Mexican food?  I do, but not typically from fast food chains, food trucks, or restaurants. There are many different Mexican food places here in the Capital Region of NY and there is only ONE place I actually love to get a meal at.  This place in Saratoga. Otherwise, if I'm craving mild-medium spicy Mexican food, I make my own.  One dish we love and that I hadn't made in YEARS is Souper Enchiladas.  I decided to make that for Monday evening's meal.  It was a huge hit with hubby.....we both had  3 plus Asian salad and he took the leftovers to work.  We found the recipe years ago in a small Campbells Soup cookbook we received with a wedding gift.  So glad we re-discovered this  cheesy goodness. 

Here is the way I make it (words in blue are my tweaks from the original).

SOUPER ENCHILADAS

1 pgk ground bison or Impossible Beef

(original recipe calls for ground beef or pork)

1 c. chopped sweet onion

1 garlic clove, minced

8 small soft tortilla shells

tablespoon of canola oil

1 can (11 oz) bean with bacon soup

2 tsp red pepper flakes 

(original recipe calls for chopped green chilis or a jalapeno pepper) 

1/2 c. water

1 tsp ground cumin

1 can (8 oz) enchilada sauce

(original recipe calls for taco sauce which is strange to me)

1 c. shredded cheddar or monteray jack cheese

(I used cheddar because it's what I had in the house) 

• In a large skillet, heat the oil and "fry" for about 30 seconds, each tortilla. Once they're slightly crispy, place on paper towels to drain off the oil.
• In the same skillet, brown the ground bison or vegan meat with the onion and garlic. 
• Once the meat is browned, stir in the soup, water, cumin, and red pepper flakes.  Heat through, stirring once. 
• Spoon the meat mixture onto each tortilla shell and roll up the shells
• Place on a lightly sprayed baking dish and sprinkle the cheese over each tortilla; cover in foil.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. 
• Remove foil and bake for another 2-3 minutes. 

Serve with Salad or Fruit. 

ENJOY!!
