These Cheesy Ground Beef Enchiladas are a Tex-Mex classic — tender tortillas filled with spiced beef, smothered in enchilada sauce, and baked with melted cheese. Perfect for a cozy dinner or make-ahead meal.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb ground beef (85/15)

  • 1 small onion, finely diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tbsp chili powder

  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1 tsp smoked paprika

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce

  • 8–10 corn or flour tortillas

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Monterey Jack blend)

  • Optional: chopped cilantro, diced green chiles, sour cream

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • In a skillet, heat oil and sauté onion until soft, about 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  • Add ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.

  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Add 1/3 cup enchilada sauce and simmer for 2–3 minutes.

  • Warm tortillas until soft. Fill each with beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 baking dish.

  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Top with remaining cheese.

  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until bubbly and golden.

  • Rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired.

Notes

Use low-carb or gluten-free tortillas as needed. Add black beans or corn to the filling for variation. Freeze before or after baking for easy future meals.
