Enchiladas
- 1 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
- 10 low FODMAP tortillas
- 5 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 tbsp green onions (green parts only, chopped)
Method
Red Enchilada Sauce
- Heat your garlic-infused oil in a saucepan over medium heat, then add your spices (chilli powder through salt). Give them a swirl to turn the oil into a paste, then quickly add your low FODMAP salsa and tomato paste. Stir the ingredients together, then add your water. Simmer, uncovered, for 15-20 minutes.
Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add ground beef and spices (salt through cayenne pepper) and cook until browned.
- Place a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the 13 x 9″ baking dish. Spread the sauce lightly over the bottom of the pan to prevent the enchiladas from sticking.
- Place a spoonful of enchilada sauce down the center of a tortilla, followed by a spoonful of ground beef, and 1 tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese. Wrap up the enchilada like a taco and place it in the baking dish, edges down. Repeat for each tortilla.
- Spread remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes (until cheese begins to bubble). Top with optional green onions. Serve warm.
