Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning mix
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
8 small flour tortillas
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain any excess fat and stir in the taco seasoning mix according to package instructions.
- Assemble Enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place a few tablespoons of the seasoned beef in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and arrange seam-side down in the dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake: Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve: Let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sour cream, salsa, or fresh cilantro if desired.
Notes
You can substitute the ground beef with ground turkey or chicken if preferred.
Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free option.
To prepare ahead, assemble the enchiladas and refrigerate until ready to bake. Add extra baking time if cooking from cold.
