Ingredients

Enchilada Sauce

  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder or more to taste

For the dip

  • 1 lb lean grass fed ground beef
  • 1/4 diced onion
  • 2 cloves garlic diced
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes with green chilies drained of juice
  • 1 1/3 cup cheddar or monterey jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Dippers such as homemade tortilla chips or bell peppers

Instructions

Stove Top

  • Mix spices in tomato sauce to make the enchilada sauce.
  • In a non stick or cast iron pan, brown the beef on medium heat, then add the onions and garlic and cook until soft.
  • Mix in enchilada sauce and tomatoes. Cook for another minute or two.
  • Top with cheese and cover with foil so cheese melts.
  • Remove from heat and top with fresh cilantro. You can serve this right from a cast iron pan, or even your crock pot to keep it warm! Yum!

Instant Pot

  • Mix spices in tomato sauce to make the enchilada sauce.
  • Set Instant Pot to saute and brown the beef until nearly cooked through.  Add the onions and garlic and cook until veggies begin to soften.
  • Mix in enchilada sauce and tomatoes.
  • Lock Instant Pot lid and set pot for 3 minutes on manual/pressure cook.  Do a quick release after cooktime.
  • Remove lid and top with cheese.  Place lid back on pot so cheese melts.
  • Remove from heat and top with fresh cilantro. ENJOY!
