📝 Ingredients List:

1 lb lean ground beef
8 flour or corn tortillas
2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with diced onions until beef is fully cooked and onions are soft (about 5–7 minutes).
Stir in garlic, cumin, and chili powder, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Spoon the seasoned beef mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle generously with shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until hot and bubbly with golden cheesy edges. ✨

💡 Pro Tips:

Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble the enchiladas in the morning, refrigerate, and bake when ready to serve.
Tortilla Tip: Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
Cheese Swap: Use a Mexican blend or pepper jack for a spicy twist.
Serving Idea: Pair with a side of Mexican rice or a crisp salad to round out the meal.
