Method

Preparation of Filling

  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 until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Assembling Enchiladas

  1. 3

    Prepare Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a separate pan, lightly warm the corn tortillas over medium heat to make them pliable, about 30 seconds per side.

  2. 4

    Stuff the Tortillas

    Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

Adding Sauce and Baking

  1. 5

    Top with Sauce

    Pour half of the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the sauce.

  2. 6

    Bake the Enchiladas

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes. Serve topped with the remaining enchilada sauce, sour cream, chopped cilantro, and sliced jalapeños.
