Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 pounds ground beef
¼ onion, finely chopped
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 ½ cups enchilada sauce
1 ½ teaspoons chili powder
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon salt
8 flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Cook and stir ground beef with onion in a skillet over medium heat until meat is crumbly and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Drain grease. Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into the ground beef until cheese has melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low, and simmer until meat sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup of meat sauce down the center of the tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll the tortilla up, enclosing the filling, and lay seam-side down into a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon any remaining meat sauce over the enchiladas and scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle tortillas with 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cheese topping is melted and enchiladas and sauce are bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by pre-cooking the beef and preparing the enchilada sauce in advance. This makes assembling the enchiladas a breeze when you're short on time.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the tastier the enchiladas will be. Use ripe tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and high-quality cheese for the best flavor.
  • Don't Overcook the Beef: Overcooked beef can be tough and chewy. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through to ensure it remains tender and juicy.
  • Use a Variety of Cheeses: A blend of cheeses, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso fresco, adds depth of flavor to the enchiladas.
  • Serve with Your Favorite Toppings: Top the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

These quick beef enchiladas are a delicious and easy meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family.
