Here’s a recipe for beef enchiladas with extra cheese on top:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 can (15 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and Monterey Jack)
- 8-10 flour or corn tortillas
- Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook Beef Mixture:
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes.
- Prepare Filling:
- Add half of the enchilada sauce and the diced green chilies to the beef mixture. Stir well and let it simmer for a few minutes.
- Assemble Enchiladas:
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll (you can do this in the microwave or on a skillet).
- Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then sprinkle some cheese over the filling.
- Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Add Sauce and Cheese:
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
- Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
Enjoy your cheesy beef enchiladas!
