This recipe for ground beef enchiladas combines seasoned beef, tangy enchilada sauce, and gooey cheese for a comforting, flavor-packed dinner that’s easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup tomato sauce
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 8 medium flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces as it cooks. Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, chicken broth, and a pinch of chili powder. Heat over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is warm and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  5. Spread a small amount of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of your baking dish.
  6. Place a scoop of the beef mixture in the center of a tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll tightly. Lay the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they’re evenly coated. Sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
  8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro or diced tomatoes if desired.

Notes

Warm tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds to prevent tearing while rolling. Use freshly shredded cheese for better meltability. Assemble the enchiladas up to 24 hours in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
