Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef Filling

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Onion and Garlic

    Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for another 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mix

    Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the meat.

  4. 4

    Mix in Refried Beans and Cheese

    Remove from heat and stir in the refried beans and shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a separate pan, lightly warm the corn tortillas on medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side to make them pliable.

  2. 6

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warmed tortilla and place a generous amount of the beef and cheese filling down the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  3. 7

    Repeat

    Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until the filling is used up.

Baking

  1. 8

    Add Enchilada Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.

  2. 9

    Bake

    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly.

Serving

  1. 10

    Garnish and Serve

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