Description

These beef enchiladas are incredibly easy to make with just five simple ingredients. They’re cheesy, saucy, and full of flavor—great for a family dinner!

 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas (soft taco size)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chilies

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain excess grease if needed. Stir in the green chilies and ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon some of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, then roll them up tightly. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Want more flavor? Add taco seasoning to the beef while cooking.
  • Prefer corn tortillas? Use 10 small corn tortillas instead of flour.
  • Toppings: Serve with sour cream, chopped cilantro, or avocado slices.
