Description
These ground beef enchiladas are packed with flavor, smothered in rich sauce, and baked to cheesy perfection. The ultimate easy dinner everyone will devour.
Ingredients
1 lb lean ground beef
8 flour or corn tortillas
2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
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 oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with diced onion until the meat is browned and onion is translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
Add minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Cook for another minute to combine flavors.
Spoon the beef mixture evenly onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the dish is bubbling.
Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
Notes
Swap ground beef for ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
Add black beans, corn, or chopped jalapeños for extra texture and flavor.
Use homemade enchilada sauce for deeper flavor control.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, or avocado slices for a fresh finish.
