  • 1 lb lean ground beef Choose lean beef to keep the dish lighter and healthier.
  • 8 pieces flour or corn tortillas Use your preferred type of tortilla for wrapping the filling.
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce Store-bought or homemade, this sauce adds flavor and moisture.
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese Cheese brings creaminess and richness to the enchiladas.
  • 1 medium onion, diced Onions add sweetness and depth to the beef mixture.

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) so it's hot and ready when you're done preparing your enchiladas.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef along with diced onions until they are translucent, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet; sauté everything together for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Spoon generous portions of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and then sprinkle shredded cheese on top for that delicious melt.
  6. Bake uncovered in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown on top.
