There is something so comforting about a plate of warm, saucy enchiladas. This recipe uses seasoned ground beef and plenty of cheese to make a hearty dinner that feels special without taking all night to put together.

My biggest tip for this dish is to warm your tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before rolling them. It keeps them soft so they do not crack while you fill them up with all that savory goodness.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 10 flour tortillas
  • 1 jar red enchilada sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium heat until it is cooked through, then drain any excess fat.

  3. 3

    Stir the taco seasoning and the black beans into the beef and add a splash of water if the mix looks too dry.

  4. 4

    Pour about half a cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish.

  5. 5

    Spoon the beef mixture and a little bit of cheese into each tortilla, roll them up tight, and place them seam side down in your baking dish.

  6. 6

    Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the cheese over everything.

  7. 7

    Bake for 20 minutes until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.

💡 Tips

You can top these with sour cream and diced avocado before serving for extra creaminess. If you have leftovers, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days and reheat them in the oven.
