Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground beef
8 corn or flour tortillas
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
½ cup sour cream (optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
Increase heat slightly and add ground beef; cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks (about 7-10 minutes).
Stir in cumin, chili powder, and half of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture; simmer for about 5 minutes.
Assemble by spooning the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese onto each tortilla; roll them up tightly.
Place rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a baking dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce over them, sprinkle with more cheese, and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
