Garlic Beef Enchiladas Recipe

garlic beef enchiladas recipe

These Garlic Beef Enchiladas are a little on the spicy side; but really good. It takes a little time to put them together, but it is worth the effort. I prepared this dish as written and thought it was a little on the salty side – you may want to salt the sauce to taste. Even though there are a lot of spices in this recipe it is not hot. So if you like a little bit of heat you may want to add a little cayenne pepper to the sauce ingredients.
Give this Garlic Beef Enchiladas recipe a try; it’s really good.
