Ingredients

Scale

Beef Filling:

1 lb (450g) lean ground beef
1 small white onion, finely chopped
2 ½ tbsp taco seasoning mix
¼ cup water

Enchiladas:

8 medium tortillas (flour or corn)
2 cups enchilada sauce (homemade or store-bought)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Topping Suggestions:

Sour cream
Chopped tomatoes or pico de gallo
Sliced avocado
Green onions or fresh cilantro

Instructions

Step 1: Make the Beef Filling

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and fully cooked. Drain off any excess fat. Stir in taco seasoning and water, then let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 2: Roll the Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish with a few spoonfuls of enchilada sauce. Spoon the beef mixture evenly into each tortilla, sprinkle with a bit of cheese, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 3: Add Sauce and Cheese

Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it out so everything is coated. Sprinkle the remaining cheese generously over the top.

Step 4: Bake

Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Step 5: Serve and Garnish

Top with your favorite toppings like sour cream, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or fresh herbs. Serve warm.
