Main Ingredients

1 pound ground beef Can substitute with turkey or a plant-based option.
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce Adds zesty flavor and moisture.
2 cups shredded cheese Combine Monterey Jack and cheddar, or use favorite cheese.
8 pieces corn tortillas Traditional option; can use flour if preferred.
1 small onion, diced Adds sweetness to the beef filling.
1 teaspoon ground cumin Enhances flavor profile.
to taste salt and pepper Essential for seasoning.

Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion for about 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned and onions are translucent.
Drain excess grease if necessary, then stir in the cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to fully incorporate flavors.
Take a corn tortilla, add a spoonful of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.

Baking

Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or avocado slices as desired.
