Description
A comforting Mexican classic, these beef enchiladas are loaded with seasoned ground beef, wrapped in corn tortillas, smothered in rich enchilada sauce, and topped with gooey melted cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 10 small corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1 small chopped onion
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Handful fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, then stir in garlic, ground beef, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until beef is browned. Drain excess fat.
- Spread a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce on the bottom of your baking dish.
- Warm tortillas slightly. Fill each with beef mixture and a little cheese. Roll and place seam-side down in the dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden. Let rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve hot with your favorite toppings.
Notes
- Use freshly grated cheese for better texture and melt.
- Warm tortillas to prevent cracking while rolling.
- Let enchiladas rest after baking for cleaner serving.
