Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Meat

    Add ground beef or chicken to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a corn tortilla, place a scoop of the meat mixture in the center, roll it up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot with cooked rice on the side and garnish with fresh cilantro.
