Description
Delicious and cheesy ground beef enchiladas that are easy to make and loved by everyone.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (15 ounces) enchilada sauce
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove the skillet from heat and add half of the enchilada sauce to the beef mixture, stirring to combine.
- Spread a thin layer of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- To assemble the enchiladas, place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños to the beef mixture or use a spicy enchilada sauce.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or use black beans for a vegetarian version.
