Creating Easy Cheesy Ground Beef Enchiladas can be simple if you follow these straightforward steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Beef: In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add Vegetables: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onions are translucent.
4. Season the Mixture: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and remove from heat.
5. Prepare the Enchiladas: Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish, coating it lightly.
6. Fill the Tortillas: Take a flour tortilla, add about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture, sprinkle in a little cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese, and roll it up tightly.
7. Arrange in Dish: Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
8. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas, and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top.
9. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
10. Garnish: Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
