Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    Mix Filling with Cheese

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

Assembling the Enchiladas

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

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

  2. 5

    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

  1. 6

    Top with Sauce

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

  2. 7

    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

  1. 8

    Garnish and Serve

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