Method

Preparation

Prepare the Filling

In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cook the Meat

Add your choice of ground beef or shredded chicken to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, and paprika. Cook until the meat is fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. If using cheese, skip this step.

Mix Filling with Cheese

If using cheese, mix it with sautéed onions and garlic in a bowl.

Assembling the Enchiladas

Prepare the Tortillas

Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable, about 15-30 seconds.

Fill the Tortillas

Place about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

Baking

Top with Sauce

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle additional cheese on top if desired.

Bake

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serving

Garnish and Serve

Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes. Top with sour cream and chopped cilantro before serving.
