Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 (1-ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
8 small flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
- Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the skillet. Stir well to combine, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Spoon a portion of the beef mixture into each tortilla, sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Feel free to add extra toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or chopped cilantro for added flavor.
You can swap flour tortillas with corn tortillas for a traditional twist.
Customize the beef filling with sautéed onions or peppers for added texture and flavor.
For a spicier kick, include some jalapeños or hot sauce in the beef mixture.
