Ingredients
1 lb (450g) ground beef
1 small onion
finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
minced
1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
1 can (15 oz) black beans
drained and rinsed (optional)
1 cup corn kernels (fresh
frozen
or canned)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend cheese)
8 flour tortillas (8-inch)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
Salt and pepper
to taste
Fresh cilantro (optional)
Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion is translucent.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the red enchilada sauce, black beans (if using), corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes until heated through.
- Remove from heat and add 1 cup of cheddar cheese to the beef mixture, stirring until well combined.
- To assemble, place a generous scoop of the beef mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
