You can add to this recipe as you like. For instance, adding sour cream to the top, jalapenos to the inside, extra enchilada sauce or salsa for dipping, etc. You could make different variations of this recipe to meet your family’s taste preferences. Like try adding rotel in with the enchilada sauce. Whatever works for your tastes. It really is that versatile.
This dish would go great with a tossed salad, some refried beans (hey, you could add those to the inside instead of rice if you’d prefer), some roasted vegetables, chips and guacamole, or whatever tickles you fancy. I love putting fresh pico on top. And don’t forget about simple things like tomato slices and avocado slices. Or Mexican ranch dressing drizzle. Or what about some elote? Even my kids love making that!
You can make these beef enchiladas ahead of time if you’d like. Just store them in the fridge in an airtight container until you’re ready to bake. And they even make a great make ahead freezer meal as well.
