Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef – browned and drained
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce – canned or homemade
  • 8 flour tortillas, 8-inch size
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Cooking spray or a little vegetable oil for the baking dish

    • Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your dish bakes evenly.
  • Cook the ground beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion and garlic. Sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the ground beef, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Brown the beef until fully cooked, breaking it up with a spoon. Drain any excess fat.
  • Mix in enchilada sauce: Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the cooked beef mixture. Stir well to coat the beef evenly.
  • Prepare the filling: Take a tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture near the center. Sprinkle a generous handful of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top, plus a few olive slices if you like.
  • Roll the enchiladas tightly: Tuck the sides in and roll the tortilla to close the filling.
  • Arrange in a baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish. Place enchiladas seam-side down in a snug row. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes: Wait for the cheese to melt and the sauce to bubble around the edges. This is the best sign that your enchiladas are ready.
  • Finish off with garnish: Once out of the oven, sprinkle chopped cilantro on top. Let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes before serving to set nicely.
