Delicious and comforting Ground Beef Enchiladas featuring seasoned ground beef wrapped in warm tortillas, smothered in flavorful enchilada sauce, and topped with melted cheese. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

Meat Mixture

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Assembly

  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Topping

  • Sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the enchiladas evenly.
  2. Cook Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef together with the diced onions until the onions become translucent and the beef is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Spices and Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder, and sauté the mixture for an additional minute to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place each roll seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the stacked tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top to create a cheesy crust upon baking.
  6. Bake: Bake the enchiladas uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown and melted.

Notes

  • Use either flour or corn tortillas according to your preference; corn tortillas provide a more traditional texture.
  • For extra flavor, you can add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of smoked paprika to the beef mixture.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Serve with sour cream, chopped cilantro, or sliced avocados for added creaminess and flavor.
  • Make sure not to overfill the tortillas to avoid tearing during rolling.
