To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Remove husks from tomatillos, rinse again, and cut into 1/2" dice.

    Mince cilantro, leaves and stems.

    Halve lime. Cut one half into wedges and juice the other half.

    Peel and mince shallot.

  2. 2

    Make the Filling

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add ground beef to hot, dry pan. Stir often, breaking up meat, until browned, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in pepper and onion mix, demi-glace, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Then stir occasionally until peppers begin to soften, liquid is completely evaporated, no pink remains on ground beef, and ground beef reaches a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 5-7 minutes.

    Remove from burner.

  3. 3

    Make and Bake the Enchiladas

    Place tortillas on a clean work surface. Divide filling equally among tortillas, placing in the center of tortilla.

    Roll tortillas and place in prepared casserole dish, seam side down. Wipe pan clean and reserve.

    Bake uncovered in hot oven until enchiladas are heated through, 8-10 minutes.

    While enchiladas bake, make salsa verde.

  4. 4

    Make the Salsa Verde

    Return pan used to cook filling to medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add tomatillos and shallot to hot pan. Stir occasionally until beginning to soften, 2-3 minutes.

    Add 1/2 cup water and 1/4 tsp. salt. Bring to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir often, breaking up tomatillos, until liquid is reduced by half, 4-5 minutes.

    Remove from burner and stir in 1 tsp. lime juice, half the cilantro (reserve remaining for garnish), and 1/4 tsp. salt until combined.

  5. 5

    Finish the Dish

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping enchiladas with remaining cilantro, cheese, and sour cream. Squeeze lime wedges over meal to taste. Bon appétit!
