Ingredients
- 1 1/10 lb ground beef
- 1 onion
- 2 clove garlic
- 1 7/10 cup red enchilada sauce
- 12 corn tortillas
- 7 1/10 oz shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.42 cup sour cream
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 374°F (375°F) and lightly grease a 9‑x‑13‑inch baking dish.
- 2Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until fully browned, about 6‑8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- 3Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant, roughly 3‑4 minutes.
- 4Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper; cook for 1 minute to toast the spices.
- 5Pour the red enchilada sauce into the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 6While the sauce simmers, warm the corn tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 10 seconds per side, or microwave covered with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds, until pliable.
- 7Place a spoonful of the beef‑sauce mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and arrange seam‑side down in the prepared baking dish, packing them snugly.
- 8If any sauce remains, drizzle it evenly over the rolled tortillas in the dish.
- 9Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese uniformly over the top, covering all the enchiladas.
- 10Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- 11Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to set.
- 12Serve each portion hot, topped with a dollop of sour cream and, if desired, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
