Instructions
STEP NO.1: PREHEAT OVEN
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
STEP NO.2: COOK THE BEEF
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Drain any excess grease.
STEP NO.3: SEASON AND ADD SAUCE
- Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, and black beans (if using). Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
STEP NO.4: LAYER THE CASSEROLE
- Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture at the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Layer tortilla halves over the beef mixture, followed by more beef and a sprinkle of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with cheese on top.
STEP NO.5: BAKE UNTIL GOLDEN
- Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
STEP NO.6: GARNISH AND SERVE
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream.
Notes
- Tortillas: Corn tortillas add authentic flavor, while flour tortillas create a softer texture.
- Meat Options: Swap beef for ground turkey or shredded chicken.
- Spicy Kick: Add jalapeños or extra chili powder for heat.
- Make Ahead: Assemble ahead and refrigerate. Bake when ready!
- Creamy Beef Enchilada Bake: Mix ½ cup sour cream into the beef mixture for extra creaminess.
- Green Chile Enchilada Bake: Use green enchilada sauce and add chopped green chilies.
- Tex-Mex Beef Enchilada Bake: Add a layer of refried beans for a heartier dish.
- Low-Carb Beef Enchilada Bake: Use low-carb tortillas or layer with zucchini slices.
