Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened. Add ground beef or shredded chicken, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until meat is browned and cooked through, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take a tortilla and spoon some of the meat mixture into the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Pour mild enchilada sauce evenly over the filled tortillas, making sure they are well covered. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the enchiladas warm, alongside Mexican rice and refried beans or fries.
