Ingredients
  

For the Red Chile Beef Filling
  • 1 lb ground beef choose lean beef for a healthier option
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder adjust to your spice preference
  • 1 can red chile enchilada sauce 15 oz
  • 8 count corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese melty goodness on top
  • 1 cup sour cream for serving
  • Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Baking Dish
  • Separate Pan

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
  3. Step 3: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, and half of the enchilada sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  4. Step 4: In a separate pan, warm the corn tortillas until pliable. This makes them easier to roll!
  5. Step 5: Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a baking dish.
  6. Step 6: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  7. Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Step 8: Serve with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Enjoy!
