Ground Beef Enchiladas feature a savory blend of lean ground beef, aromatic spices, and melted cheese wrapped in soft tortillas, all baked to perfection with zesty enchilada sauce. This classic Mexican dish is hearty and flavorful, ideal for satisfying family dinners or casual get-togethers.

Ingredients

Filling

  • 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 the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook the beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until the onions become translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  3. Add spices and garlic: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder; sauté together for an additional minute to develop the flavors.
  4. Assemble enchiladas: Spoon the seasoned beef mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them tightly. Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Add sauce and cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and optionally top with sour cream before serving.

Notes

  • You can use either flour or corn tortillas based on preference or dietary needs.
  • Feel free to add chopped jalapeños or green chilies to the beef mixture for extra heat.
  • Leftover enchiladas can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven.
  • Homemade enchilada sauce can enhance the flavor but store-bought is a convenient option.
