Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 19 ounces red enchilada sauce (1 can)
  • 4.5 ounces chopped green chiles (1 can)
  • 10 flour tortillas 6 inches each
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and spray a 13×9 inch baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. In a nonstick skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes, or until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease.
  3. Mix ½ cup of enchilada sauce and chopped green chiles into the cooked ground beef.
  4. Pour ½ cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  5. Place ¼ cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, adding approximately 1 tablespoon of shredded cheese, then wrap the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
  6. Spread the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the wrapped tortillas and sprinkle the leftover cheese over it.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dish is hot and bubbly. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, add jalapeños to the beef mixture.
You can use corn tortillas instead of flour tortillas if preferred.
Feel free to top with sour cream or guacamole before serving.
