These beef enchiladas are a hearty and flavorful Mexican-inspired dish made with seasoned ground beef, enchilada sauce, and melty cheese wrapped in soft tortillas and baked to perfection.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 oz.) can red enchilada sauce, divided
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add the chopped onion and garlic, cooking until the onion softens, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Stir in half of the enchilada sauce, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
  5. Grease a 9×13 baking dish with olive oil and spread a few spoonfuls of the remaining enchilada sauce on the bottom.
  6. Spoon the beef mixture into each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining cheese.
  8. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  9. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.

Notes

  • You can use corn tortillas for a gluten-free version.
  • Feel free to add beans or diced green chilies to the beef mixture for extra flavor and texture.
  • Top with sour cream, avocado, or hot sauce for added flair.
  • Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days and reheat nicely in the microwave.
