Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 12 tortillas Corn tortillas
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with the spices. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 6

Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave or on a stovetop pan until pliable to prevent cracking when rolling.

Step 7

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

Take one tortilla, place about 3 tablespoons of the beef filling down the center, and sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top of the beef.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Once all the enchiladas are rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top.

Step 11

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the enchiladas.

Step 12

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 14

Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with sour cream if desired. Enjoy!
