Instructions

Mix together Spice Mix ingredients. Set aside.

Enchilada Sauce

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add flour and mix to combine into a paste. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add 1/2 cup chicken broth, whisk straight away then it will turn into a thick smooth paste quite quickly.

Add remaining chicken broth, passata, salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of SPICE MIX. Whisk

Increase heat slightly to medium high. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, whisking regularly, until the sauce thickens to the consistency of thick syrup (see video). Remove from stove.

Filling

Preheat oven to 180C/350F.

Heat oil in a skillet over high heat. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes.

Add beef and cook for 2 minutes, breaking it up as you go. Add remaining Spice Mix. Cook for a further 2 minutes or until completely brown.

Add refried beans, black beans, about 1/4 cup of Enchilada Sauce + salt & pepper. Mix (Note 4) and cook for 2 minutes then remove from stove (see video).

Enchiladas

Smear a bit of Sauce on the bottom of a baking dish (stops sliding).

Place filling on the lower third of a tortilla. Roll up then place in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with remaining Filling & Tortillas.

Pour Sauce over the Enchiladas, top with cheese, bake for 10 minutes covered (Note 5) then 10 minutes uncovered. Serve hot!
