Have you ever been asked what your last meal would be? I have and my response is always my mom’s red enchiladas. I don’t know what it is about them.  They are like no other enchiladas I’ve ever tasted.  Not even the fancy shmancy Mexican restaurant enchiladas that cost an arm and a leg.  They don’t compare.  Never will.

Well, my mom is in town and I begged and pleaded with her to please show me how to make her red enchilada sauce.  I wanted to recreate my own version of her enchiladas by making her sauce and filling them with something my son loves. And that would be picadillo.  His all-time favorite.

To get a great-tasting picadillo, you must select quality ground beef.  I headed down to my local Sprouts Farmers Market and asked the butcher at the meat counter for recommendations.  He selected the Sprouts brand grass fed ground beef.  The Sprouts meat counter provides only the best beef.  It’s always fresh and never frozen, therefore, more juicy, tender and flavorful.  Plus, Sprouts’ skilled butchers use the same high quality beef to make several batches of freshly ground beef daily.  I knew that this dish would be great tasting and hearty for the entire family to enjoy.

I wanted a good amount of vegetables in this recipe too.  Sprouts has its own brand of mixed carrots, peas, potatoes and corn.  Conveniently canned together and ready to use.  All I had to do was just drain and add the the ground beef as it cooked.  It eliminated so much peeling and chopping time.  A great shortcut when strapped for time during weeknights.

To bring the entire dish together, I had to add cheese of course.  My choice for these red enchiladas was Sprouts Muenster Cheese.  It’s a great melting, mild cheese that all kids adore.  Shredded muenster cheese tames any heat from the guajillo peppers and it also compliments any flavorful dish as a topping.

I hope you enjoy making these enchiladas as much as I did.  You can always prepare the sauce a day ahead and assemble the next day to save time
