Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1.5 cups Enchilada sauce
• 8 pieces Flour tortillas (medium size)
• 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 1 to coat the baking dish Cooking spray
• 1 as desired Optional garnishes (sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup of water. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld, then remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the seasoned beef mixture down the center of the tortilla.

Step 7

Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese on top of the beef mixture, reserving some cheese for the top of the enchiladas.

Step 8

Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beef, and cheese.

Step 9

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 10

Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese over the top of the sauce-covered enchiladas.

Step 11

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Optional: Garnish with sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños before serving.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy your delicious beef enchiladas!
