Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Skillet Beef Enchiladas
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Gather your ingredients as the oven heats.
  2. Cut your corn tortillas into triangles for even cooking.
  3. In a large, oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and sauté diced onions for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder; cook until beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in black beans, corn, cilantro, and red enchilada sauce. Mix until well combined and heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Gently fold in the tortilla triangles, ensuring they're coated in sauce and evenly distributed.
  6. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top; transfer skillet to oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool for a minute, optionally top with cilantro, avocado, or sour cream, and serve warm.
