A classic and comforting recipe for Beefy Enchiladas made with seasoned ground beef, enchilada sauce, and melted cheddar cheese wrapped in corn tortillas, baked to perfection. Perfect for a delicious and satisfying dinner.

Ingredients

Beef Filling

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Enchiladas

  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Optional Toppings

  • Sour cream, for serving
  • Chopped cilantro, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Cook beef mixture: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef together with the chopped onion. Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onion is soft, then drain excess fat.
  3. Season beef: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper into the cooked beef mixture. Remove the skillet from heat once well combined.
  4. Prepare baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread a small amount of enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom.
  5. Assemble enchiladas: Fill each corn tortilla with a portion of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Add sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.
  7. Bake enchiladas: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the enchiladas hot, optionally topped with sour cream and chopped cilantro.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner meat option.
  • If you prefer a spicier dish, add chopped jalapeños or extra chili powder to the beef mixture.
  • For a gooier texture, mix some shredded cheese inside the filling along with the beef.
  • Warm tortillas briefly before filling to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
  • Use gluten-free enchilada sauce and corn tortillas to make this recipe gluten free.
