Cook the filling
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  5. Stir through the chopped cilantro. Taste and adjustseasoning if necessary.
Assemble the enchiladas

  2. Place a tortilla on a flat surface and sprinkle with a little shredded cheese.
  3. Spoon about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center.
  4. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Bake the enchiladas
  1. Bake 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
