Equipment

  • Cast iron
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter divided
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 tablespoons homemade or store-bought taco seasoning
  • 4.5 ounces canned diced green chiles drained
  • 19 ounces canned red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup salsa
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves
  • chips for serving

Instructions

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, with 2 tablespoons butter. Once melted, add in the ground beef and begin break it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until no longer pink and just beginning to brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
  • Stir in the onion and garlic and cook for a minute or two to soften. Add the taco seasoning, and green chiles and cook for another minute. Add the enchilada sauce and remaining 2 tablespoons butter and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and stir in most of the cheese (reserving about a tablespoon of each for topping) until melted through, about 5 minutes. Top with the reserved cheese and cover; cook until the cheese on top has melted.
  • Remove from the heat and top with sour cream, salsa, scallions and cilantro. Serve hot with chips for dipping. Enjoy!
