Equipment
- Large Pan
- Baking Dish
- Oven
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef 450g
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 8 large Tortillas Flour or corn
- 2 cups Shredded cheese Mexican blend or cheddar
- 1 medium Onion Finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic Minced
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tbsp Olive oil For sautéing
- to taste Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add ground beef to the pan and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. This should take about 7-10 minutes.
- Season the beef with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in 1 cup of enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish.
- Lay out each tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure each one is generously coated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to swap the beef for chicken, or add some extra vegetables like bell peppers or black beans for a different twist. These enchiladas are also great for meal prep, and leftovers can be stored in the fridge or frozen for later.
