Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
- 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to combine and simmer for 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spoon a portion of the beef mixture into each tortilla, sprinkle with a small amount of cheese, roll up tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef if desired.
- Add chopped onions or green chilies to the beef mixture for extra flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Serve with sour cream, salsa, or fresh cilantro for added freshness.
