Instructions
- 1Place the spice mixture ingredients in a small bowl and mix to combine.
- 2Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Once hot, add the oil and onion, reduce the heat to medium and cook until soft and translucent. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds, then add the beef and cook until browned. Stir in the spice mixture and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour and cook, stirring for about 1 minute or until browned. Stir in the stock, and 1 cup (8 fl oz) of the passata, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Stir in the beans, then remove from the heat.
- 3Insert the wire rack into position 6. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 400°F, for 15 minutes, enable Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
- 4Spread 2 cups of the beef mixture over the base of a 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish.
- 5Working with 1 tortilla at a time, top with ¼ cup of the beef mixture, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of the cheese and roll the enchilada. Place seam-side down into the dish. Continue rolling all the enchiladas. Tip: Briefly warming the tortillas in the microwave will soften them slightly and make them easier to roll.
- 6Add the remaining passata to the remaining beef mixture and stir to combine. Spoon over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover with foil.
- 7Once preheated, place the baking dish in the oven and cook for 15 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, remove the foil and continue cooking. Meanwhile, make the salad.
- 8To make the salad, place the corn, tomatoes, onion and cilantro in a bowl. Add the lime juice, oil, salt and jalapeños, if using. Stir to combine.
- 9When the oven signals at the end of cooking, adjust the oven to Broil, High, for 2 minutes and press Start.
- 10The enchiladas should be golden brown. If not, broil it a little longer.
- 11After a short 5-minute rest, your enchiladas are ready to be served. Top with a spoonful of salad and a swirl of sour cream. Sit back, take a bite, and be proud.
