1 pound Ground beef this hearty protein forms the base of your enchiladas, packing them with flavor and substance.
1 cup Diced onions sautéed until translucent, they add sweetness and depth to the filling.
1 teaspoon Minced garlic enhances the overall flavor with its aromatic charm.
1 teaspoon Cumin a warm spice that brings an earthy tone, perfect for that Mexican flavor profile.
1 teaspoon Chili powder adds a bit of heat; adjust to your spice preference for the perfect kick!

8 pieces Soft tortillas choose flour or corn tortillas to wrap all that deliciousness inside.

2 cups Enchilada sauce this zesty sauce infuses moisture and tang, enhancing the dish’s taste.
1 cup Shredded cheese sprinkle generously on top for that irresistible gooey texture when baked; it holds everything together.

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) for that perfect bubbly and golden top.
In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat and add 1 pound of ground beef along with 1 cup of diced onions. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until browned.
Stir in 1 teaspoon of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 1 teaspoon of chili powder. Cook for an additional minute.
Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each of the 8 tortillas, roll them tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour 2 cups of enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the enchiladas are bubbly and golden brown.

Assemble in advance and refrigerate; bake before serving for a warm meal anytime.
