Ingredients:

• 1 pound ground beef

• 1 medium onion, dice

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 tablespoons chili powder

• 1 teaspoon ground cumin

• 1 teaspoon paprika

• ½ teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce

• 8 corn or flour tortillas

• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

• Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced onions, sliced jalapeños(I 

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the Beef Mixture:
   In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft. Drain any excess fat.

3. Season the Beef:
   Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.

4. Assemble the Enchiladas:
   Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
   Place a tortilla on a flat surface, spoon about ⅓ cup of the beef mixture down the center, and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

5. Top the Enchiladas:
   Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-coated. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.

6. Bake:
   Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

7. Serve:
   Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve with optional toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced onions, or sliced jalapeños.
