Delicious Ground Beef Enchiladas filled with spiced beef and topped with cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) chopped green chilies
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican-blend)
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)
  • Optional toppings (sour cream, sliced olives, diced tomatoes, avocado, sliced jalapeños)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Sauté the onions in a large skillet with olive oil over medium heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Brown the ground beef in the skillet until no large clumps remain, about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the chopped green chilies and cook for about 2 minutes.
  6. Prepare the tortillas by frying each in oil for a few seconds on each side until pliable.
  7. Coat the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a small amount of enchilada sauce.
  8. Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll them tightly.
  9. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish, snugly arranged.
  10. Add the remaining enchilada sauce over the tops and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
  11. Bake for about 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  12. Cool for a few minutes and garnish with chopped cilantro.
