I like Mexican food because for the most part it is simple and healthy. I say the most part, because if you go through the drive-thru, I'm not so sure, but if you cook it yourself it is. This is a good beef meal because you don't need the $10.00 lb. beef, but a cheaper cut of beef will do nicely. Oh well, let's get to it.

Ingredients:

1 - 1 1/2 - lbs. rump steak
2 - Chilies or jalapeno (if you like hot)
2 - Garlic cloves
2 - Teaspoons dried oregano
1/2 - teaspoon ground cumin
2 - tbsp. veg. or canola oil
7 - Corn tortillas


Preparation:

Rump steak is a tougher cut of beef so you need to cut into 2 - inch cubes. Now you need to cook in a deep frying pan, covered with water, bring to a boil then lower heat and let simmer for 1 - 1&1/2 hours until tender. Put chilies or jalapeno and a little water in a blender and blend into a smooth paste. Take steak out of pan and let cool, but retain 1 - cup of the cooking liquid. Fry the mashed garlic, oregano and cumin in the oil for 2 minutes. Stir in the chili paste and the cooking liquid, bring to a boil and lower heat to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally until sauce thickens. Take the steak and shred with 2 forks and stir into sauce, let it heat up a few minutes and portion onto the tortillas in a dish.

At this point you can go 1 of 2 ways, (1) you can garnish with sliced onion and chopped parsley and serve with a mango salsa or (2) you can pour 1 & 1/2 cups of sour cream on top of enchiladas and sprinkle 1 - cup of grated cheddar cheese on top and place under broiler until cheese melts and sauce bubbles. Serve with salsa and enjoy.

Mexican Beef Enchiladas is a simple and easy recipe that you'll enjoy every time you make it. If you have never had enchiladas this is your chance to make a delicious meal.

I have always been interested in cooking, for 2 reasons: 1) I like to eat and 2) If I don't cook, then who will. Cooking is my hobby and I thought it would be interesting to share the experience and recipes that I have with others.
