Delight in the rich flavors of Tex-Mex Beef Enchiladas, where juicy ground beef meets gooey cheese and zesty sauce, making it the ultimate comfort food for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef (80/20)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought)
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • sour cream for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onions until translucent. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  3. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks until browned (about 7-10 minutes). Stir in cumin and chili powder for flavor.
  4. Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture; stir well and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Warm tortillas in the microwave to make them pliable. Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with shredded cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving.
