Instructions

1

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat.

3

Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

4

Stir in taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water. Simmer for 5 minutes until mixture thickens. Remove from heat.

5

Warm tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for 20 seconds to make them pliable.

6

Spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

7

Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the dish.

8

Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

9

Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.

10

Garnish with cilantro, sour cream, tomatoes, and olives if desired before serving.

Chef's Tips

  • Tortilla Tip: Briefly fry corn tortillas in oil before filling to prevent them from cracking when rolling.
  • Make Ahead: Assemble enchiladas up to a day in advance and refrigerate until ready to bake.
  • Spice Level: Adjust heat by using mild, medium, or hot enchilada sauce.
  • Cheese Options: Try a blend of Monterey Jack and cheddar for extra flavor.
  • Vegetarian Version: Substitute beef with black beans or sautéed mushrooms.
  • Freezing: Freeze baked enchiladas for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight before reheating.
