This Cheesy Enchilada Beef Tortellini Skillet is a one-pan fusion dish that combines classic Mexican enchilada flavors with hearty Italian tortellini for a quick and comforting weeknight meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 (19 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (10 oz) can Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chiles)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess grease if necessary.
  2. Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the cooked beef and stir to combine.
  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce and Rotel. Mix well.
  4. Add the uncooked cheese tortellini to the skillet and stir to coat with the sauce.
  5. Cover the skillet and let simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini is cooked through and tender.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the top. Cover again and let cook for another 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Use lean ground beef to reduce grease.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
  • Add beans or corn for extra texture and nutrition.
  • Make it spicier with hot enchilada sauce or additional chili powder.
