Ingredients
  

For the Beef Filling
  • 1 pound Ground beef Opt for lean beef for a healthier twist.
  • 1 Onion Finely chopped.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Minced.
  • 2 tablespoons Chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon Cumin
For the Enchiladas

  • 2 cups Enchilada sauce Homemade or store-bought.
For Topping (Optional)

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until fully cooked and no longer pink, about 7-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Mix Seasonings
  1. Stir in your favorite taco seasoning, adding water as directed on the package. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and is fragrant.
Warm Tortillas
  1. In another skillet, warm corn tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side until they’re pliable.
Fill Tortillas
  1. Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle with cheese. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Make the Sauce
  1. In a bowl, combine enchilada sauce with diced green chiles and a pinch of cumin. Mix well.
Top Enchiladas
  1. Pour the sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle additional cheese on top.
Bake
  1. Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
