Gerrie’s Enchiladas (by Jill)

Jump to Recipe

Looking for a new lunch or dinner recipe? This is one of my favourites—a delicious enchilada recipe passed along to me by my friend Gerrie.

Made using simple and easy to find ingredients, this recipe is foolproof, delicious, and makes enough to serve a family of four—it’s also easy to double or triple if you’ve got a bigger group of family and friends to feed, too.

All you need is ground beef, refried beans, taco seasoning, canned tomato soup, shredded cheese, and tortillas. Once they’ve been fully assembled and baked, I like to take the enchiladas straight from the oven to the table and let everyone serve themselves, family style.

Depending on your tastes, top them with sliced avocado and chopped cilantro. If you’re looking to add a side dish or two, my favourite pairings are rice, a medley of vegetables, or grilled corn with flavoured butter.

Enjoy!

Prep Time

5 - 10 mins

Cook Time

25 mins

Serving Size

4 - 6 people

Ingredients

  • 2lbs (0.907kg) ground beef
  • 1 can (398mL) refried beans
  • 1 can (284mL) tomato soup
  •  ½ cup (125mL) water
  • 1 ½ tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 ½ cup (150g) of shredded cheddar cheese
  • 7” flour or corn tortillas

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF (175ºC).
  2. Over medium heat, add the ground beef to the pan. Break it apart and cook until browned.
  3. In a large bowl, mix the tomato soup with water and the taco seasoning. Set aside.
  4. Add the refried beans to the beef, stirring well until combined. Pour in half of the tomato soup mixture, then mix in about ¼ cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts. Remove from heat and let it cool until it’s safe to handle.
  5. Place about ½ to ¾ cup of the filling on the lower third of a tortilla, roll, and move into a greased baking dish seam side down. Repeat until no filling remains. This recipe should yield around 8 to 10 enchiladas. Pour the rest of the tomato soup mixture on the rolled tortillas and then top with the remaining 1 ¼ cup of shredded cheese. Bake in the oven at 350ºF (175ºC) for 25 minutes. Serve hot and enjoy!
