Description
Seasoned ground beef rolled in soft corn tortillas and smothered in red sauce and melted cheese for a classic Mexican favorite.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Small white onion (diced)
- 1 Garlic clove (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning (1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon Cumin
- 1/4 cup Water
- 8–10 Corn tortillas
- 28 ounces Red enchilada chile sauce
- 2–3 cups Freshly shredded cheddar jack cheese
- Optional Toppings: sour cream, pico de gallo, diced avocado, fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with a tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the diced onions and cook, stirring frequently until they begin to soften.
- Add the ground beef and minced garlic. Cook beef, breaking up with a spoon, until no longer pink; 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease or soak up with paper towels.
- Sprinkle taco seasoning and cumin over the beef and stir in 1/4 cup of water. Continue to cook, stirring often, until water is absorbed.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour 1/2 a cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13×9-inch baking dish and spread evenly.
- Heat remaining sauce in a small-medium size skillet, just until it begins to bubble, then remove from heat.
- Wrap a stack of 10 corn tortillas in a clean kitchen towel and microwave on high for 30 seconds to a minute. Dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce to coat both sides then lay flat on a cutting board or plate. Add a small amount of the meat mixture (about 3 tablespoons) down the center of the tortilla, then top with about 1-2 tablespoons of shredded cheese. Roll up both sides and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and meat.
- Pour remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas and top with remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake uncovered for about 25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.
- Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired with optional toppings like sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado, sliced green onions, or cilantro.
