Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 28 ounces red enchilada sauce
- 4 ounces green chiles, diced
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 10 large flour tortillas
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the diced onion until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat if needed.
Mix in the chili powder, cumin, salt, diced green chiles, and 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Stir well and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Fill each flour tortilla with about 3 tablespoons of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and golden.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before garnishing with chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm with sour cream on the side, and enjoy your Family Style Enchilada Dinner!
