Beef Enchiladas Recipe
As a stay-at-home parent, I know how difficult it can be to come up with meals that the whole family will enjoy. One of my go-to dishes is beef enchiladas. This easy-to-make Mexican classic is not only delicious and healthy; it’s also something that I can make quickly and easily, which is great for busy parents like me.
This recipe takes about 45 minutes to make and yields 8 enchiladas. You’ll need the following ingredients:
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 8 flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or jack)
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• Sour cream, for topping (optional)To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef, onion, garlic, and cumin. Cook the beef until it’s no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the pan and discard.
Next, add the enchilada sauce to the beef mixture and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes before assembling your enchiladas.
To assemble your enchiladas, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Sprinkle each with about 2 tablespoons of cheese and top with a few sprigs of fresh cilantro. Roll each tortilla up tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with additional cheese if desired. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream on top if desired.
My family loves this recipe because it’s simple yet delicious! Plus, it only takes about 45 minutes from start to finish so I don’t have to spend too much time in the kitchen preparing dinner every night.

To this day, making this recipe always brings back those happy memories for me!
