- Saute onion in olive oil, add beef and cook until browned. Add salsa and warm. Season with cumin and garlic powder (more if you want). Stir in some fresh chopped cilantro if you prefer.
- Spread mixture onto each of the eight tortillas and roll up, tucking together seam down into a baking dish. Top with shredded cheese.
- To make sauce, whisk butter and flour in a sauce pan and cook until turning golden. Whisk in beef broth, half and half, and sour cream, and bring just to a boil and cook until mixture becomes a smooth sauce . Season to your taste with salt, pepper, and cumin (we used 2 teaspoons).
- Pour sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
- Bake 15 to 20 minutes, or until they are bubbly and heated through. Enjoy!
NOTE: These are rich and delicious and easy to make with flour tortillas rather than corn. Although untraditional for enchiladas; this eliminates the extra step of heating corn tortillas in oil to make pliable.
