Filling

Method

Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

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

  2. 2

    Add Onions and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Tomato Sauce

    Pour in the tomato sauce and stir to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Preheat Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

  2. 6

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla and spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Roll the tortilla tightly, then place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

  3. 7

    Repeat Filling

    Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until all the beef mixture is used.

  4. 8

    Top with Cheese

    Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the rolled enchiladas.

  5. 9

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with 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.

  6. 10

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve topped with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
