Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fresh diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Juice of 1 lime

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet, sauté diced onion until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Add minced garlic and sauté for another minute.
  3. Add ground beef, cumin, and chili powder. Cook until beef is browned, about 8-10 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  4. Warm tortillas in a dry skillet for 30 seconds on each side until pliable. This makes rolling easier.
  5. Place a scoop of the beef mixture in each tortilla, sprinkle with cheese, and roll them up tightly. Place seam side down in a baking dish.
  6. Top with remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the fresh salsa by mixing diced tomatoes, cilantro, and lime juice in a bowl.
  8. Remove enchiladas from the oven, let them cool slightly, and serve with fresh salsa on top or on the side for dipping.

Notes

For optimal freshness, store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave to preserve moisture and texture.
