How to Make Beef Enchiladas

• Step 1: Prepare the Filling
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula.
• Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.
• Stir in cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to coat the beef in seasoning.
• If using, add black beans and corn, stirring to combine. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
• Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese and set the filling aside.
• Step 2: Warm the Tortillas
• Heat a dry skillet over medium heat and lightly warm each tortilla for about 10 seconds per side to make them pliable.
• Alternatively, wrap the tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds.
• Step 3: Assemble the Enchiladas
• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the beef filling onto each tortilla, then roll it up tightly.
• Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.
• Step 4: Add Sauce and Cheese
• Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
• Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese over the sauce.
• Step 5: Bake and Serve
• Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
• Garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced avocado, and a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
• Serve warm and enjoy!
