Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 8 small flour or corn tortillas
- Optional toppings: sour cream, chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, or sliced jalapeños
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add onion and garlic, and cook until softened.
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add 1/2 cup enchilada sauce to the beef mixture and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
