Units
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 1/2 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat.
- Add chopped onion and garlic to the beef and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for another minute.
- Pour in half of the enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas slightly in the microwave to make them more pliable.
- Spoon beef mixture into the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
Notes
- Use corn tortillas for a more traditional flavor and gluten-free option.
- Add black beans or corn to the beef mixture for extra texture and nutrition.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
