Description

These Ground Beef Enchiladas are a comforting and delicious meal, perfect for weeknight dinners and family gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
8 flour or corn tortillas
2 cups enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until they become translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic along with the cumin and chili powder. Sauté for an additional minute.
Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour your enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the enchiladas are bubbling and golden.

Notes

Consider making your own enchilada sauce for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months before baking.
