Sauce
 1 ½ cups chicken broth
 1 ½ tbsp tomato paste
 1 bay leaf
 1 tbsp chili powder
 1 ½ tbsp sweet paprika
 1 tsp ground cumin
 ½ tsp oregano
 ½ tsp salt
 ½ tsp granulated garlic
 ½ tsp onion powder
 1 tsp ground coffee
 ⅛ tsp ground cloves
 ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
 1 tsp monkfruit sweetener

 ¾ pound 80/20 ground beef
 ½ cup medium white onion
 1 tbsp ground cumin

 1 tsp oregano
 ⅛ tsp black pepper
 1 tsp chili powder

Toppings

Make the Sauce
1

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and reduce by half over medium high heat. Set aside.

Make the Filling
2

Brown meat and onions in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and spices. Continue cooking for 60 seconds or until spices are fragrant. Deglaze pan with 1/2 cup water or chicken stock. Cook until all liquid is evaporated.

Note: DON'T add more salt to the filling or the sauce! The provolone and cheddar add a lot of salt to the dish. You can always add more at the table, but you can't take it away.

Wrap and Bake
3

Preheat oven to 350.

4

Place single slices of provolone on parchment lined baking sheets with at least 1/2" between pieces. Bake in multiple batches if necessary.

5

Bake for 3-6 minutes or until bubbly and melted. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

6

Raise oven temperature to 475F.

7

When cheese is cool enough to be lifted intact from the parchment, divide mixture evenly between cheese slices and arrange in strip down the middle.

8

Roll the cheese slices around the filling and place seam side down in an oven proof dish sprayed with cooking spray.

9

Pour sauce evenly over enchiladas and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

10

Bake until brown and bubbly - about 10 minutes. If they are bubbly but not browning, finish in the broiler. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
