Description
These Ground Beef Enchiladas are packed with flavor and easy to make. With seasoned beef, saucy tortillas, and melty cheese, they’re the ultimate comfort food for weeknights or family dinners.
Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (80/20 blend for maximum flavor)
1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning
1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
8–10 medium flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup water
Optional toppings: sour cream, cilantro, diced tomatoes
Instructions
1. Brown the ground beef and onion in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease.
2. Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes until thickened.
3. Warm enchilada sauce in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each tortilla in sauce.
4. Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish. Fill each tortilla with beef mixture, roll, and place seam-side down.
5. Pour remaining sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
6. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake 5–10 minutes more, until cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
8. Serve hot with toppings like sour cream, cilantro, or tomatoes.
Notes
Do not skip dipping tortillas in sauce to prevent cracking and dryness.
Avoid overfilling tortillas to keep them from breaking.
Store leftovers in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze for 3 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best results.
