  • Season your beef well: The beef is the main ingredient in these enchiladas, so make sure it's well-seasoned. Use a variety of spices, such as chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
  • Don't overcook the beef: Overcooked beef will be tough and chewy. Cook the beef until it's just cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is another important ingredient in these enchiladas. Use a cheese that melts well, such as cheddar, Monterey Jack, or queso Oaxaca.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the enchiladas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings for enchiladas include sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and pico de gallo.
