🌢️ Enjoy the bold, authentic flavors of New Mexico with this stacked enchiladas recipe featuring rich red chile sauce.
🍳 This hearty dish combines tender ground beef, roasted Hatch chilies, and melted cheese for a satisfying meal topped with fried eggs.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups New Mexico Red Chile Sauce or Enchilada Sauce

1 pound (about 450 g) ground beef, browned

1 cup chopped sweet onion

4 Hatch green chile peppers, roasted, peeled, and chopped (or a 4-ounce can of chopped Hatch chile peppers)

2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

2 fresh tomatoes, chopped

Chopped lettuce for topping

6 yellow corn tortillas

ΒΌ cup vegetable or canola oil for frying

2 eggs, fried over easy or over medium

Instructions

1-First, preheat oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) to get ready for baking. Then, brown the ground beef and onion in a frying pan until fully cooked, drain the excess grease, and stir in the chopped Hatch green chile peppers; set this mixture aside for layering.

2-Next, heat oil over medium-high heat in a frying pan until it’s hot enough to bubble the tortillas. Fry each of the 6 yellow corn tortillas one at a time for about 30 seconds until nearly crispy, then place them on paper towels and cover to keep warm.

3-Now, in an ovenproof dish, start layering: Place one tortilla, top with ΒΌ cup of the ground beef mixture, ΒΌ cup red chile sauce, a generous sprinkle of shredded Mexican blend cheese, and some fresh chopped tomato. Repeat this twice more with the remaining tortillas, finishing the top with cheese and sauce.

4-Bake or broil until the cheese melts and bubbles, which takes about 20 minutes. While that’s happening, fry the 2 eggs over easy or medium. Serve right away, topped with extra fresh tomato, chopped lettuce, the fried eggs, and optionally sour cream or diced raw onions for added flair.
