Description

5 Ingredient Beef Enchiladas are a simple, flavorful meal that combines seasoned beef, zesty salsa, and melted cheese wrapped in soft tortillas. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for busy weeknights or a quick family dinner that doesn’t skimp on flavor.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 8 (8-inch) tortillas (flour or corn)
  • 8 oz (about 2 cups) shredded Four Cheese Mexican blend

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Beef Filling:
    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain any excess fat and return the beef to the skillet. Stir in the salsa and cook over medium-low heat until heated through. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the Enchiladas:
    Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Warm the tortillas according to package instructions to make them easier to roll. Place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
  4. Add the Sauce and Cheese:
    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they’re well coated. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
  5. Bake to Perfection:
    Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
  6. Serve and Enjoy:
    Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, guacamole, or chopped cilantro, if desired.

Notes

  • Warm the tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
  • Add extra ingredients like black beans, corn, or diced green chilies to customize the filling.
  • You can make these enchiladas ahead of time by assembling them and refrigerating until ready to bake.
