Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce, divided
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and minced garlic until fragrant. Add the ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.
- Prepare the Tortillas: In a separate bowl, mix half of the enchilada sauce with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread a small amount of the sauce mixture on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, add a scoop of the beef mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and serve hot.
