Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas

  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

  2. Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and any additional spices you prefer. Stir until well combined.
  3. Take each tortilla, fill it generously with the beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Pour red enchilada sauce over each rolled tortilla, ensuring they are fully covered.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 20 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let cool slightly before garnishing with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot with sour cream or guacamole.

Keywords: For a vegetarian option, substitute ground beef with shredded chicken or black beans. Enhance flavor by searing the beef before adding it to the filling. Let tortillas warm slightly before filling to prevent tearing.
