Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 cup poblano peppers, roasted and peeled
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions until translucent. Add the garlic, followed by the ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Prepare Poblano Cream Sauce: In a blender, combine roasted poblano peppers, heavy cream, and lime juice. Blend until smooth and creamy, adjusting seasoning as necessary.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread a little poblano cream sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place a generous amount of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
- Top and Bake: Pour the remaining poblano cream sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot.
