Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion (optional)
  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until no longer pink. Drain excess fat.
  3. Add taco seasoning and water, stir well, and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  4. Spread a spoonful of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Divide the beef mixture evenly among tortillas. Sprinkle with cheese, roll up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Garnish with chopped onion and cilantro before serving if desired.

Notes

To spice it up, add chopped green chiles or jalapeños to the beef mixture. Serve with rice or beans for a complete meal.
