Tips:

  • Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go. This will help you save time and make the cooking process smoother.
  • Season your beef: Don't forget to season your beef with salt, pepper, and your favorite taco seasoning before browning it. This will help give it flavor and depth.
  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will give you plenty of room to cook the beef and vegetables without overcrowding them. This will help ensure that everything cooks evenly.
  • Cook the beef in batches: If you're using a lot of beef, cook it in batches so that it doesn't overcrowd the skillet. This will help prevent it from steaming instead of browning.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until tender, but not mushy. Overcooking them will make them lose their flavor and nutrients.
  • Use a flavorful cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in enchiladas, so make sure you use a flavorful one that you enjoy. A good melting cheese, such as cheddar or Monterey Jack, is a good choice.
  • Serve immediately: Enchiladas are best served immediately after they're made. This will help prevent the tortillas from becoming soggy.
