Description
A delicious and easy-to-make recipe for cheesy beef enchiladas that are sure to be a hit!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 cup chunky salsa
- 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
- 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas
- 1 (8-ounce) package Borden® Cheese Thick Cut Shredded Four Cheese Mexican (about 2 cups)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking during baking.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, then return the beef to medium-low heat and stir in the chunky salsa. Cook until heated through and flavorful. Remove from heat.
- Pour about half of the red enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to create a flavorful base.
- Warm tortillas according to package instructions. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, then top with approximately 1 heaping tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
- Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until hot and bubbly.
Notes
- For a traditional alternative, corn tortillas can be used instead of flour tortillas.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, green onions, or avocado.
