Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 lb Ground Beef Substitute with ground turkey, chicken, or lentils for a lighter option.

  • 1 to 2 cups Shredded Cheese Cheddar or Monterey Jack are excellent choices.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Ground Beef Enchiladas
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown 1 pound of ground beef along with one diced onion for about 5-7 minutes until beef is no longer pink and onions are translucent.
  3. Stir in 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 tablespoon of chili powder, cooking for an additional minute until garlic becomes fragrant.
  4. Take warmed tortillas and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into each, rolling them tightly and placing seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Pour enchilada sauce generously over the tortillas, ensuring they’re well-coated, then top with 1 to 2 cups of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown.
