Wolf Brand Chili Tex-Mex Enchiladas

Being Texan chili is second nature to us. Yes, even to a Mexican-American, I’m still Texan and we definitely partake! It’s pretty funny because the hubs will not eat chili dogs unless they are made with Wolf Brand Chili. When we are stationed outside of Texas we jump through hoops to find our favorite chili or my mom will send us some! I know.. that’s a little out there, but you like what you like you know.  I received a gift pack from Wolf Brand Chili that included three cans of chili, (Original, Mild & Hot) a super cute Texas-shaped bamboo cutting board, Wolf Brand Chili coasters, an amazing Texas flag apron, and a beautiful set of four soup bowls.

One of the recipes that I was excited to try the Cheesy Enchiladas from the Wolf Brand Chili website. My mom used to make a similar recipe of enchiladas! I made two sets of enchiladas. One non-spicy set for the boys and one full-on with green chilies, tomatoes and I added onions and the “HOT” can Wolf Brand Chili. I’ve added the recipe I used for the non-spicy enchiladas; that is the recipe my mom uses on hers. For the spicy, you just add the green chilies, tomatoes, and onions with the Hot Wolf Brand Chili.

 Read the fabulous Fun Facts About Chili! I am loving how hearty and delicious the chili is now. There’s nothing like a meaty and hearty bowl of chili on a cold Texas day! That’s a Texas favorite when it gets cold. That’s how we Texans love our chili! It’s not just enchiladas in our house. As I mentioned before we make mean Chili dogs with Wolf Brand Chili!! Makes my mouth water! LOL and who can not enjoy a delicious Frito pie while watching Friday night lights -Texas High School Football baby!

What do you know about Wolf Brand Chili? Here’s some awesome facts: Wolf Brand Chili puts a true taste of Texas in every can. A Texas ranch cook and Lyman T. Davis developed the original Wolf Brand Chili recipe in 1895, and for over 100 years the Wolf Brand’s unique blend of seasonings and good hearty beef has delivered authentic chili taste. Wolf Brand Chili has always been great, and now it’s thicker and heartier, just the way Texans like it.

    Woif Brand Chilli is the ONLY chilli we buy, it taste way better than all the other brands in the market, We usually make chilli dogs, frito pay or chilli cheese fries with it but I was looking at recipes from their website and the Cornbread Chili Casserole looks delicious, I am definitely making this very soon

  2. Alvina Castro says

    yes we have totally tasted it and actually have some in the pantry. Its yummy and I want to make something new…. we usually stick to frito pies and easy stuff but I think enchiladas is the way to go now

  7. Danielle says

    These sound AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS! Can’t wait to try the recipe, just printed it.

  13. Miranda Sherman says

    Oh yummy!!! This looks so delicious! I am going to make this this weekend and see how the kids like it. I’m sure it will make the dinner rotation!

  14. Dana Rodriguez says

    That looks DELICIOUS! I have never had Wolf Brand Chili but I went on their site and they sell it at Target where I live. Thank you for the recipe!

  17. Phylicia Phillips says

    This looks incredibly tasty! I’m always looking for new recipes to make for my husband. We adore Mexican food

  18. Gary Burcalow says

    We always add lots of diced onion to the filling, and sometimes some diced green chilis. I find that although cheddar has a sharper flavor, colby jack does not produce as much oil when the cheese melts. Just about any good cheese will taste great though!

    I am glad I stumbled across your recipe. I have a huge restaurant sized can of Wolf Brand that I have been meaning to open. It may just be enchilada night!

      You could try it with flour tortillas! It definitely makes the enchiladas heartier and you’ll need more enchilada sauce bc it does soak in the tortillas. Enjoy!!

    I am a Texan living in Kansas. Walmart is finally stocking Wolf Brand Chili. My mother no longer has to send it to me. And this is how I make my enchiladas. Except I add fresh diced onions when rolling them up.

    • Candy says

      Hi Linda! You know being an Army family our first few moves we had to get it sent from home because we couldn’t find it either. I love that you add onions to the recipe! I enjoy onions but when I made this recipe I wasn’t eating them much. Thanks for your comment!

    • Larry McQueary says

      I am a Texan living in Colorado… and now I’m headed over to Walmart to see if they have (or can order) Wolf Brand Chili! Thanks for the tip! (Now, if I could just find a reliable source for Taco flavored Doritos, life would be complete)
