Mix the marinara sauce and chili powder in a small bowl. Add the salsa. Place the minced meat, finely chopped onions, and sauce mixture in the bottom of a saucepan. Simmer under a lid for at least an hour.
Heat the tortillas in the microwave (15-20 seconds each). Place 2/3 of the filling in the center of each tortilla and roll up the enchiladas. Place the enchiladas in a deep heatproof dish with a little sauce on the bottom.
Cover with the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with grated cheese. Roast in the oven at 375°F for about 20 minutes. Remove the enchiladas from the oven, garnish with sour cream, and cut vegetables such as fresh tomatoes or olives. Serve them hot and enjoy.
Serve with white rice or beans.
Enhance the flavor with Mexican spices: While marinara sauce is not traditionally used in enchiladas, you can still infuse Mexican flavors into your dish. To do so, season your filling with a blend of Mexican spices such as cumin, chili powder, oregano, and smoked paprika. This will give your enchiladas a delicious and vibrant taste that complements the marinara sauce.
Opt for the right cheese: Since marinara sauce has its own distinct flavor profile, it's important to choose a cheese that complements it well. Instead of the traditional Mexican cheeses like Cheddar or Monterey Jack, consider using mozzarella or provolone. These types of cheese have a mild taste that won't overpower the marinara sauce, allowing it to shine through while still adding a gooey and melty texture to your enchiladas.
Add fresh herbs and toppings: To balance out the flavors and add a fresh element to your enchiladas, incorporate fresh herbs and toppings. Finely chopped cilantro or fresh basil can be sprinkled on top of the enchiladas just before serving, adding a burst of freshness. Additionally, you can garnish with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, or even a squeeze of lime juice to elevate the overall taste and presentation of the dish. These toppings will add a pop of color and a zesty touch to your marinara-based enchiladas.
Bon Appetit!
