Step-by-Step Instructions for Ground Beef Enchiladas
  1. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat for about 2 minutes. Add ½ cup of chopped onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Stir in 1 pound of ground beef, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 1 teaspoon of cumin. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is browned.
  3. Remove the skillet from heat and stir in half of the 1 cup of grated cheese until melted. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  4. Fill each tortilla with a generous portion of the beef mixture, roll it tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour 2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
