  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 8 pieces flour or corn tortillas

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 medium onion, diced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Mix in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder. Sauté everything together for another minute until those spices are aromatic.
  4. Spoon the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Roll them tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the filled tortillas, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
