Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Meat

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Vegetables and Spices

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Combine and Cook

    Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spices are well incorporated. Remove from heat and set aside.

Sauce Preparation

  1. 4

    Mix the Sauce Ingredients

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, chicken broth, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir well to combine.

  2. 5

    Simmer the Sauce

    Bring the sauce to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable, about 30 seconds.

  2. 7

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a tortilla, place about 2-3 tablespoons of the meat filling in the center, sprinkle with a little cheese, and roll it up tightly. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 8

    Place in Baking Dish

    Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.

  4. 9

    Top with Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining sauce evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

  5. 10

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
