Description

Savor the rich flavors of Best Ever Beef Enchiladas, a comforting dish that combines hearty beef and melted cheese in warm tortillas, perfect for any gathering or cozy night in.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups canned tomato sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and onions are tender (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in chili powder, salt, and pepper to taste, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Lay out the tortillas on a flat surface. Spoon about two tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour tomato sauce evenly over enchiladas and sprinkle shredded cheese generously on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
