Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Quick Beef Enchiladas.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to ensure nothing sticks.
Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef along with the chopped onion, stirring occasionally until the beef is beautifully browned and crumbly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 3
Once done, drain any excess grease to keep your dish light and delicious.
Step 4
Now, stir in a cup of shredded Cheddar cheese, a dollop of sour cream, taco seasoning, and a dash of black pepper into the beef mixture, allowing the cheese to melt and create a creamy texture.
Step 5
Next, mix in the red enchilada sauce, a sprinkle of chili powder, and a pinch of salt to elevate those flavors.
Step 6
To make your tortillas easy to work with, warm them in the microwave for about a minute.
Step 7
Take each tortilla and spoon roughly 1/4 cup of the savory beef mixture into the center.
Step 8
Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in your prepared casserole dish, creating a cozy little row of deliciousness.
Step 9
Pour any remaining sauce over the rolled tortillas, and if you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle some black beans and sliced olives on top for an extra layer of flavor.
Step 10
Finally, finish it off by generously sprinkling the remaining Cheddar cheese over everything, because who doesn’t love extra cheese? Pop the dish into your preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the filling is bubbling with joy.
Step 11
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await this comforting meal!.
