  • Add peppers to the pan with beef. Cook, stirring occasionally, until peppers soften slightly, 2-3 min.
  • Sprinkle remaining Enchilada Spice Blend over beef and peppers, then season with 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
  • Add salsa and chicken broth concentrate. Cook, stirring often, until mixture thickens slightly, 1-2 min.
