These Ground Beef Enchiladas are a flavorful and comforting Mexican-inspired dish featuring tender ground beef spiced with cumin and chili powder, wrapped in warm tortillas, smothered with rich enchilada sauce and melted cheese. Perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner, topped with sour cream for extra creaminess.

Ingredients

Meat and Vegetables

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Other Ingredients

  • 8 flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Sour cream (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook Ground Beef and Onions: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with the diced onions until the onions become translucent and the beef is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add Seasonings: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté this mixture for another minute until fragrant and well combined.
  4. Assemble Enchiladas: Spoon the cooked beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and sprinkle the shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese on top.
  6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
  7. Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm, topped with sour cream for added creaminess and flavor.

Notes

  • Use either flour or corn tortillas based on preference.
  • For a spicier dish, add diced jalapeños or hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • For a lighter option, use reduced-fat cheese and lean ground beef.
