×
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 diced onion
- 1 minced garlic clove
- 1 pound of ground beef
- 1 teaspoon of ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 can (10 oz) of red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 12 corn tortillas
- sour cream for garnish
- chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil. Add 1 diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 pound of ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up as it cooks, about 7-10 minutes.
- Drain excess fat and stir in 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, combine 1 can (10 oz) of red enchilada sauce and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Pour half of the enchilada sauce mixture into the ground beef mixture and stir to combine.
- In another bowl, pour remaining enchilada sauce over 12 corn tortillas, ensuring they are well coated.
- Prepare a 9x13 inch baking dish by spreading a thin layer of the enchilada sauce from the tortillas at the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, and sprinkle with remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 15 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
