Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.Wash and dry all produce. Heat a medium pot over medium heat.When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then flour. Stir to combine.Whisk in 1 cup (2 cups) water, 1 1/2 tbsp (3 tbsp) Mexican Seasoning and broth concentrates until smooth, 1 min. Bring to a boil.Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer, whisking often, until sauce thickens slightly, 4-6 min. Remove from heat.
Meanwhile, core, then cut pepper into 1/4-inch slices. Peel, then cut half the onion into 1/4-inch slices (whole onion for 4 ppl). Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces. Zest, then juice half the lime (whole lime for 4 ppl). Cut any remaining lime into wedges. Add tomatoes, lime zest, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) lime juice, 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then peppers and onions. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften, 5-6 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer veggies to a plate. Add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil to the pan, then beef. Cook, breaking up beef into smaller pieces, until no pink remains, 4-5 min.** Season with remaining Mexican Seasoning, salt and pepper. Return veggies to the pan. Stir in half the enchilada sauce, then remove from heat.
Lightly oil an 8x8-inch baking dish (9x13-inch for 4 ppl) with 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil.Place tortillas on a clean work surface.Divide beef filling between tortillas.Roll up to close enchiladas and place, seam-side down, in the prepared baking dish.
Drizzle remaining enchilada sauce over top, then sprinkle with cheese.Broil in the middle of the oven, until cheese melts and edges of enchiladas are slightly crispy, 3-6 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on enchiladas so they don't burn!)

Review summary
Updated on Aug 2026- Flavour:Ā The Mexican spice blend and cheesy beef filling are crowd-pleasers, though some reviewers found the overall flavour mild and would have liked more heat or depth.
- Ease of prep:Ā Most found this straightforward to make, though several noted it took noticeably longer than the suggested time due to the number of steps and dishes involved.
- Suggestions:Ā Reduce the water in the enchilada sauce for a thicker, more flavourful result, and consider adding extra Mexican seasoning or a pinch of chilli flakes to boost heat. Draining the beef after cooking and dicing the peppers and onions smaller helps keep the filling less greasy and easier to roll.
- Leftovers:Ā Several reviewers noted the enchiladas reheated well the next day, making them a satisfying lunch.
- Portions:Ā Some reviewers felt the filling-to-tortilla ratio was off, with more vegetables than meat; adding extra protein or a simple side like rice or salad helped round out the meal.
