Ingredients
- 500 g ground beef
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 can (400 g) enchilada sauce
- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (for serving)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish, optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). -
Cook the Beef:
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Then, add the ground beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. -
Prepare the Tortillas:
If using corn tortillas, warm them in a dry skillet or microwave for easier rolling. -
Assemble the Enchiladas:
Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Take a tortilla, spoon some beef mixture down the center, sprinkle with cheese, and roll it up. Place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. -
Top with Sauce and Cheese:
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. -
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden. -
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
- Feel free to add black beans or corn to the beef mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- These enchiladas can be made ahead and stored in the fridge; simply bake before serving.
