Description
Delicious and cheesy ground beef enchiladas smothered in enchilada sauce, topped with melted cheese, and baked to perfection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent.
- Stir in the enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- In a separate pan, lightly warm the tortillas to make them pliable.
- Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll them up tightly.
- Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- Feel free to add black beans or corn to the beef mixture for added flavor and texture.
- You can use store-bought enchilada sauce or make your own for a fresher taste.
- These enchiladas can be frozen before baking. Just thaw and bake when ready to serve.
