Beef Enchiladas for One-wilderness
2 Serving Dishes, Beef, Mexican
Prep Time: 15 minutes Cook Time: 20 minutes Difficulty: Easy Servings: Serving: 2 Source: Onedishkitchen.com
Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces ground beef
¼ cup chopped onions
1 clove garlic , peeled and minced
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
⅛ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
⅛ teaspoon chili powder
⅛ teaspoon ground cumin
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 (8-inch) flour tortillas
⅓ cup plus 2 tablespoons enchilada sauce
Optional toppings:
chopped green onions, chopped tomatoes, sliced black olives, and/or sour cream.
Directions
In a 10" skillet over medium heat, heat oil 30 seconds. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook an additional 1 minute. Add ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, until beef is brown, about 8 minutes. Remove pan from heat and transfer cooked ground beef to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
Assemble
Spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over bottom of a small baking dish.
Warm tortillas by placing the tortillas on a plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Microwave on high for 10-15 seconds so they are pliable. Place 1 tablespoon of cheese in the center of each tortilla, then divide meat evenly between each tortilla.
Roll up each tortilla tightly, then arrange in a baking dish.
Pour 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce over tops of the tortillas and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
Bake in a preheated 350 F oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Heat oven to 350°F (177°C).
Notes
Expert Tips
If you want to increase the heat level in the beef filling add some freshly chopped jalapenos or serrano chilis.
If you'd like to make a double batch, just double the ingredients.
Consider adding chopped fresh tomatoes, cilantro, black olives, and sour cream as beef enchilada toppings.
Use green enchilada sauce for a different twist as we did in our Enchiladas Verdes recipe.
