Time 40m

Yield 8 enchiladas, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 (20 ounce) can enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas

Steps:

  • Brown meat and onions in large skillet.

  • Bake at 350F degrees for about 30 minutes till cheese is bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality, flavorful beef for the filling. Ground chuck or sirloin are both good choices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the beef. This will prevent it from browning properly.
  • Season the beef well with chili powder, cumin, and oregano. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a little heat.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce. A homemade sauce is always best, but you can also use a good quality store-bought sauce.
  • Warm the tortillas before filling them. This will make them more pliable and less likely to tear.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. You want to be able to roll them up without them bursting.
  • Top the enchiladas with plenty of cheese. A combination of cheddar and mozzarella is a classic choice.
  • Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cilantro.
