Instructions
Making Easy Cheesy Ground Beef Enchiladas is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Break it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks.
3. Add Onions and Garlic: Once the beef is browned, add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the meat is evenly seasoned.
5. Mix in Enchilada Sauce: Pour about half of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture, stirring until well combined.
6. Fill the Tortillas: On each tortilla, add a spoonful of the beef mixture and sprinkle with cheese. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling.
7. Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
8. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well coated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
