Ground Beef Enchiladas
Description
Ground Beef Enchiladas bring together ground beef cooked with diced onions and garlic, combined with pinto beans and taco seasoning to create a hearty filling. The filling is thickened with a bit of enchilada sauce and water before being rolled into warmed corn tortillas and placed in a baking dish. Topped with more enchilada sauce and a blend of shredded Monterey jack and cheddar cheeses, the enchiladas bake uncovered until the cheese melts and the filling is heated through, resulting in a comforting, savory casserole with a cheesy crust.
The enchiladas offer a mildly spiced and creamy texture thanks to the cheese and sauce, with the filling providing the main savory component. They can be served as a main dish for lunch or dinner, suited for a casual family meal.
Heating the tortillas until soft helps prevent cracking when rolling. Allowing the dish to cool slightly before serving helps the filling set and makes serving easier.
