These enchiladas are super simple and a perfect way to use up ground beef!
Equipment
- Skillet
- Casserole Dish
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- ½ Sweet Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, diced
- 1 lb. Ground Beef
- 1 tsp. Chili Powder
- 1 tsp. Ground Cumin
- Salt, to taste A few cranks of a salt grinder will do, maybe ½ tsp.
- 1 can Enchilada Sauce Be selective. The brand in our photo seemed better than others we've tried. 10 oz. can.
- 1 can Green Chiles 7 oz. can
- 1.5 - 2 cups Shredded Mexican Cheese Blend A rare recipe where we don't shred off the block (for convenience).
- 4 Tortillas Large soft taco size
Instructions
- Heat the oil on medium heat. Meanwhile, preheat an oven to 375℉. Saute the onions for 4 - 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another 1 - 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with the side of wood spoon and mixing the ingredients together well. Cook for 5 - 7 more minutes or until beef is browned.
- Spoon a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a casserole dish. In each tortilla place a line of beef, green chiles and shredded cheese in the bottom third of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas by folding in the left and right sides in and then roll from the bottom up.
- Place the burritos in the casserole dish then top with the remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.
- Place in the oven at 375℉ for 20 - 25 minutes. Remove, let rest for 3 - 5 minutes, plate, and serve. Top with fresh cilantro, Mexican crema, or your favorite condiment.
