Beef Enchiladas with Chili con Carne


Having spent most of my life living in Texas I never had much of a need to cook Mexican food. There were dozens of authentic Tex Mex restaurants within a few miles of my home. And many others specializing in regional Mexican cuisine, all reasonably priced, close by as well. When I began living in South America I discovered there was nowhere to find authentic Mexican cuisine. A few restaurants made the claim but didn't even come close. So I found myself learning to prepare the dishes I'd grown to love back in Texas. This recipe for beef enchiladas is border-town authentic. For a variation, rough chop some sirloin steak and use it in lieu of the ground beef. Serve with standard Tex-Mex sides of seasoned fried rice and "charro" beans or refried beans.
