Beef Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Beef Enchilada Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beef

    Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Take a tortilla, fill it with the beef mixture, sprinkle some cheddar cheese, then roll it up and place it seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all the enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.

  5. 5

    Bake

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious beef enchiladas!
