Ground Beef Enchiladas

These easy cheesy ground beef enchiladas are a delicious meal that the whole family will enjoy.

All these ground beef enchiladas need are beans and rice to make them into a complete meal.

The first thing we need to do is make the enchilada sauce. It is the same sauce I use for Tex Mex cheese enchiladas. But you’re gonna want to halve the sauce recipe for these beef enchiladas since we’re not making as many enchiladas.

Once the sauce is made we can start on the ground beef filling.

Ground beef enchilada filling ingredients

• 1 lb ground
• 1 onion (diced)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
• 1/2 tsp ground cumin
• 3/4 tsp onion powder
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder

In a pot brown 1 lb of ground beef along with 1 small onion diced. Halfway through browning add the seasonings and stir and continue to cook.

Drain the ground beef filling on a paper towel lined plate.

Now that the sauce and filling has been made it’s time to start on the tortillas.

I used corn tortillas and those get quickly fried on each side in order to make them more pliable so they don’t break when we roll them up with the filling.

How to assemble enchiladas

Spoon a little amount of the beef filling in the middle of a corn tortilla.

Close the tortilla by rolling it like the one shown below. Put the enchilada in a 9×13 baking dish.

Repeat with the rest of tortillas .

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.

Top the enchiladas with shredded cheese. Bake them at 350 for about 10 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

How delicious does that look? I absolutely love enchiladas. I always have the ingredients on hand to make some form of enchiladas.

Chopped cilantro, diced onion and diced avocado are just a few options you can use to garnish these enchiladas.
