Pre-Preparation

    4. Chop the cilantro.
    5. Sauté garlic and onions in oil until the onions are translucent.

    10. Bring sauce to a boil.
    11. Set aside.

Preparation

  1. Cook the ground beef for about 15 minutes or until browned with an internal temperature of 160°F.
  2. Drain the fat and liquid from the beef once cooked through.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, drained black beans, and half of the cheese amount.
  4. Spread 16 oz. of enchilada sauce onto the bottom of each hotel pan.
  5. Lay out the tortillas and place 2 oz. of the meat/bean/cheese mixture in the center.
  6. Roll the tortillas over the filling and place 24 rolled tortillas into each hotel pan on top of the sauce.
  7. Cover with 24 oz. of sauce in each pan.
  8. Cover the pans with parchment paper and foil.
  9. Cook covered at 350°F for 20 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 155°F.
