A Tex-Mex comfort food classic, these Ground Beef Enchiladas are filled with seasoned beef, smothered in red enchilada sauce, topped with melty cheese, and baked until bubbly—perfect for weeknights or casual entertaining.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar jack cheese
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, jalapeños, sour cream, pico de gallo, avocado, cilantro

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  3. Add onion and garlic; cook until softened.
  4. Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning and cumin until well combined.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until pliable.
  6. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  7. Fill each tortilla with beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  8. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas and top with shredded cheese.
  9. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Top with desired garnishes and serve hot.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for beef.
