Here’s a simple recipe for beef enchiladas with extra cheese on top:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8-10 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
- Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook until the onion is soft and translucent.
- Stir in the diced tomatoes (undrained), enchilada sauce, diced green chilies, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer the mixture for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each flour tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Once all the tortillas are filled and rolled, pour any remaining beef mixture over the top of the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the foil and broil the enchiladas for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
