1 lb lean ground beef

8 flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef with diced onions until beef is browned and onions are translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
Add garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for another minute until fragrant.
Spoon beef mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce over tortillas, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
Serve hot with sour cream and desired toppings.

Notes

Don’t over-soak tortillas with sauce before baking—keeping most of the sauce on top helps prevent sogginess.
Assemble ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake for easier meal prep.
Customize with beans, corn, or extra veggies for more flavor and texture.
