Instructions
Making these Easy Cheesy Ground Beef Enchiladas is a breeze. Just follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the diced onion. Cook until the beef is no longer pink and onions are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add Spices: Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, mixing until well combined.
4. Add Beans (Optional): If you are using black beans, add them to the beef mixture and stir until heated through.
5. Prepare Tortillas: Lightly warm the tortillas in the microwave to make them pliable. This should take about 20 seconds.
6. Fill the Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle some shredded cheese, and roll them up tightly.
7. Place in Dish: Lay the enchiladas seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat until all the tortillas are filled.
8. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle any remaining cheese on top.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, add chopped cilantro on top before serving for a fresh touch.
Following these steps, you’ll create delicious, cheesy enchiladas that will become a beloved family recipe!
