Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped Onion
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 2 teaspoons Chili powder
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 8 10-inch Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 sliced Green onions
- 0.25 cup, chopped Cilantro
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 3-4 minutes until soft.
Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 1 minute.
Increase heat to medium-high and add the ground beef. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's fully browned, about 6-8 minutes.
Drain excess fat from the skillet. Season the beef with salt, black pepper, cumin, and chili powder. Stir well to combine.
Pour in 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce and stir until the beef mixture is evenly coated.
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center. Sprinkle with a tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beef mixture.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring all are covered evenly.
Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Garnish with sliced green onions and chopped cilantro.
Serve immediately with a dollop of sour cream on top, if desired.
