Method

Seasoned Beef Enchiladas

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and refried beans, mixing well.

  2. 2

    Assemble Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce. Take a corn tortilla, fill it with the beef mixture, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

    Fill each taco shell with the seasoned beef. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomato, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
