Instructions
Creating Ground Beef Enchiladas is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Here’s how to make them:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Season: Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the spices to blend with the meat.
5. Warm Tortillas: In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas over low heat until pliable, about 30 seconds on each side.
6. Fill Tortillas: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
7. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
8. Add Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas, making sure to cover them completely.
9. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese generously over the top of the sauce.
10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
11. Garnish: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
