Delicious and comforting Ground Beef Enchiladas made with seasoned lean ground beef, wrapped in warm tortillas, topped with rich enchilada sauce and melted cheese. Perfect for a family dinner or casual gathering.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling

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

Tortillas and Toppings

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onions until the onions become translucent, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally to break up the meat.
  3. Add Seasonings: Add the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the beef mixture, sautéing for an additional minute until fragrant and well combined.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas: Spoon an even amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish to prevent unraveling.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure all are covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top.
  6. Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm topped with sour cream as desired.

Notes

  • Use either flour or corn tortillas depending on preference or dietary needs.
  • For a spicier dish, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture.
  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
  • Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat well in the oven or microwave.
  • Add chopped cilantro or green onions on top after baking for extra flavor.
