Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef (or beef ground recipes)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese blend
  • 8–10 flour tortillas
  • 1/2 cup chopped cilantro (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, sliced jalapeños, sliced black olives

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed. Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until onions are translucent. Season with cumin, chili powder, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir in diced tomatoes and simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. Spoon beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour remaining beef sauce over enchiladas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese and cilantro if using.
  3. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, jalapeños, and black olives.
