Ingredients | El Pato Green Enchilada Sauce Recipe

3 tablespoons vegetable oil

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons chili powder, or more to taste

2 cups chicken stock

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon ground cumin

¼ teaspoon salt

cooking spray

1 pound ground beef

1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 onion, diced

2 (4 ounce) cans fire-roasted diced green chiles

½ green bell pepper, diced

1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

8 low-carb high-fiber tortillas (such as La Tortilla Factory®)

1 (8 ounce) package shredded low-fat Mexican cheese blend

Directions

Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add flour; cook and stir using a wooden spoon until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Mix in chili powder and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in chicken stock, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, and salt; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer enchilada sauce until thickened and smooth, about 15 minutes.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.

Heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion, green chiles, and green bell pepper until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in ground beef and black beans. Stir in 1/2 of the enchilada sauce; cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes.

Spoon beef mixture evenly onto the center of each tortilla and roll tortilla around filling. Place tortillas, seam-side down, in the baking dish. Cover tortillas with remaining enchilada sauce and Mexican cheese blend.

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
