Enchiladas are supposed to be easy. No rolling drama. No falling apart. No bland filling. These beef enchiladas come together in 30 minutes, use one pan for the filling, and taste like they simmered all day. Let’s make dinner happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Serves 4\u20136. Makes 8\u201310 enchiladas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preheat oven to 375\u00b0F (190\u00b0C). Spread \u00bd cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 2: Cook Filling<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
In a skillet, cook ground beef and onion over medium heat until beef is browned. Drain fat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Add garlic, taco seasoning, and water. Simmer 2\u20133 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 3: Assemble<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Warm tortillas (microwave 30 seconds between damp paper towels) so they don’t crack.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Place 2\u20133 tablespoons of beef filling down the center of each tortilla. Top with a pinch of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 4: Sauce & Cheese<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Bake uncovered for 15\u201320 minutes until bubbly and cheese is melted.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
Step 6: Serve<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n
Top with cilantro, sour cream, or whatever you love. Dig in.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
