Description
Quick and delicious ground beef enchiladas ready in 30 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- In a large skillet, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
- Stir in the minced garlic, tomato sauce, green chilies, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Pour any remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the Monterey Jack and cheddar cheeses evenly over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.
Notes
- For a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture.
- If your tortillas are cracking, warm them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before rolling.
