Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 8 pieces corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For Serving
  • Sour cream and chopped cilantro Optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onions. Cook until the beef is browned and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Add cumin, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture, stirring until well blended.
  4. Take a tortilla and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into the center. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  5. Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the entire dish.
  6. Cover with foil and bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  7. Let cool for a few minutes, then serve with sour cream and fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

Tips: For a vegetarian version, swap ground beef for ground turkey or lentils. Warm tortillas slightly to prevent breaking when filling. Store leftover enchiladas in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes.
