Delicious and easy ground beef enchiladas made with seasoned beef, flavorful enchilada sauce, and melted cheese, perfect for a comforting weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Enchiladas

  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Topping

  • Sour cream (for topping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot and ready for baking your enchiladas.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onions until the onions become translucent and the beef is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add seasoning: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder; sauté the mixture for another minute to enhance the flavors.
  4. Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Add sauce and cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Bake the enchiladas uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and top with sour cream if desired before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either flour or corn tortillas depending on your preference.
  • Feel free to add chopped jalapeños or green chilies for extra heat.
  • Make homemade enchilada sauce for a fresher taste if preferred.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For a lower fat version, use reduced-fat cheese and lean ground beef.
