Description
Hearty and delicious Ground Beef Enchiladas filled with seasoned ground beef, gooey cheese, and vibrant spices, topped with flavorful sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or a Mexican blend)
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
- Olive oil for cooking
- Fresh cilantro for garnishing (optional)
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat from the skillet.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes, green chilies, and taco seasoning. Simmer for a few minutes to meld flavors.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds if stiff.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in a 9×13-inch baking dish. Fill a tortilla with the beef mixture and cheese, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and add remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm with sour cream.
Notes
For healthier options, use ground turkey or vegan cheese, and substitute with gluten-free tortillas if needed. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze assembled but unbaked for up to 3 months.
