Ultimate Beef Enchiladas Recipe

Heat the oven to 180C (350F), ensuring a stable cooking environment for the enchiladas.

In a large skillet, sauté diced onions until translucent and fragrant. Add minced garlic and cook for 60 seconds.

Introduce ground beef to the skillet, incorporating chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Brown the meat thoroughly, stirring consistently for 6-7 minutes.

Warm corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to increase flexibility and prevent cracking.

Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom of a baking dish to prevent sticking.

Fill each tortilla with the seasoned beef mixture, ensuring even distribution. Sprinkle cheese inside before carefully rolling.

Arrange rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish, creating a snug arrangement.

Generously pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them completely.

Distribute the remaining cheese evenly across the top, creating a rich, melty surface.

Bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese turns golden and bubbling, indicating perfect doneness.

Allow enchiladas to rest for 3-4 minutes after removing from the oven to set the filling.

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream for added richness.
