Cheesy Enchiladas
Ingredients:
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon chili powder
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
– 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies, drained
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
– 8 small corn tortillas
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional toppings: chopped fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, sour cream, sliced avocado
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish and set aside.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute to toast the spices.
4. Add the enchilada sauce and green chilies to the skillet, stirring to combine. Let the mixture simmer for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of each cheese until melted and well combined.
6. To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a generous portion of the beef mixture into each tortilla, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Pour any remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly on top.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
10. Serve the enchiladas hot, garnished with your favorite toppings like cilantro, tomatoes, sour cream, and avocado.
