Creating delicious Ground Beef Enchiladas is simple if you follow these easy steps:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
- Add Vegetables: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Season: Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well, allowing the spices to coat the meat and vegetables.
- Add Beans and Corn: Incorporate the black beans and corn (if using) into the mixture. Cook for an additional 2 minutes before removing from heat.
- Prepare Tortillas: Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds or until pliable.
- Fill Tortillas: Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Top with some shredded cheese.
- Roll and Place in Dish: Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour Sauce: Once all tortillas are in the dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
- Add Cheese Topping: Sprinkle remaining cheese over the sauce.
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden.
- Garnish: Once out of the oven, let it sit for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
