Ingredients:
For the Beef Filling:
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (plus more for topping)
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
For the Enchilada Sauce:
2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
For Assembly:
8-10 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream (for serving)
Sliced jalapeños (for garnish, optional)
Additional cilantro (for garnish, optional)
Instructions:
Prepare the Beef Filling:
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent.
Stir in the cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped cilantro (if using).
Make the Enchilada Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, beef broth, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Let it cook for about 10 minutes to thicken slightly.
Assemble the Enchiladas:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish.
Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable.
Spoon a generous amount of the beef filling onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered. Sprinkle additional cheese on top.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve:
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, topped with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and additional cilantro if desired
