Method
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce across the bottom to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks, for 5 to 7 minutes until browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
- Add minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder to the beef mixture. Stir and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
- Warm tortillas for 20 to 30 seconds in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel, or 15 seconds per side on a dry skillet, until soft and pliable.
- Spoon an even amount of beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla, dividing filling across all 8. Do not overfill.
- Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over all rolled tortillas, ensuring full coverage. Sprinkle shredded cheese generously over the top.
- Bake uncovered at 375 degrees F for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden at the edges. Let rest 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and desired toppings.
Notes
Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking. Drain beef well to avoid soggy enchiladas. Spread a thin sauce layer on the bottom of the dish before adding enchiladas. Can be assembled up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerated before baking. Freeze unbaked for up to 3 months and add 10 to 15 minutes to bake time when cooking from frozen.
