30-Minute Ground Beef Enchiladas

Hi there! I’m showing you how to make my family’s favorite 30-minute ground beef enchiladas.

These beef enchiladas are one of my son’s all-time favorite recipes.

Why You’ll Love This

He devours them every time I make them.

I love how quick and easy they are to make too. For another simple and satisfying meal, try our quick and easy creamy beef pasta.

In fact, I always make a double batch and keep one in the freezer for a quick weeknight dinner option on another night.

Ingredients

• some ground beef
• a little bit of my homemade taco seasoning blend
• a diced onion
• some red enchilada sauce
• a mixture of corn and flour tortillas
• a combination of cheddar and Monterey Jack

Instructions

1. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add some ground beef.
3. Season our flavorful homemade ground beef with a little bit of my homemade taco seasoning blend.
4. Add a diced onion to the pan.
5. To a wide bowl, add some red enchilada sauce.
6. Take the tortilla and give it a good coat in the enchilada sauce, each side.
7. Take a scoop of the mixture and do it about not quite in the center, just a little bit off to one side.
8. Add some cheese.
9. Put a little bit on top of the beef mixture.
10. Start at one end of the tortilla.
11. Fold it over the meat mixture and just kind of tuck and roll as you go.
12. Put a little bit of our reserved enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 13 by 9 baking dish.
13. Give it a good coat and then place your roll tortilla right in the edge of the baking dish.
14. Repeat this seven more times.
15. Drizzle over any remaining enchilada sauce that you have right over the top of them and then give it a nice coating of shredded cheese.
16. Pop them in the oven for a few minutes.
17. Let them cool for a few minutes on the counter before we eat them.

Cooking Tips

You can also use a store-bought taco seasoning blend, but this one’s just so easy to mix up on your own.

I like to use a mixture of corn and flour tortillas. You might also enjoy using tortillas for an easy BBQ tortilla wrap burger recipe.

I find that the texture and flavor is perfect if you can find the combination of the two together.

Now you can always feel free to use a flour, just a plain flour one or a plain corn one.

It’s entirely up to you in whatever your family likes.

There really isn’t any neat way to do this.

You are going to get messy.

So just go with it and wash your hands at the end.

There’s no way around it.

Now that our enchiladas have baked we’re just going to let them cool for a few minutes on the counter before we eat them and you will want to dive into this beefy cheesy goodness, much like a delicious one-pan ground beef and cheese meal.

Easy 30-Minute Ground Beef Enchiladas Recipe

Whip up these family-favorite ground beef enchiladas in just 30 minutes! This quick and easy recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner and makes excellent leftovers, or can even be frozen for a meal later.

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons homemade or store-bought taco seasoning blend
• 1 (19 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
• 8 tortillas (a mix of corn and flour, or your preference)
• 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Add the diced onion to the pan with the ground beef and continue to cook until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
4. Season the ground beef and onion mixture with the taco seasoning blend, stirring well to combine.
5. Pour about 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish and spread evenly.
6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce into a wide, shallow bowl.
7. Take one tortilla and dip it into the enchilada sauce, coating both sides. Place the tortilla on a clean work surface.
8. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the ground beef mixture onto the tortilla, slightly off-center.
9. Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese over the beef mixture.
10. Starting from the side with the filling, fold the tortilla over and roll it up tightly.
11. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down into the prepared baking dish.
12. Repeat this process with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and a little cheese until all 8 enchiladas are rolled and placed in the baking dish.
13. Drizzle any remaining enchilada sauce from the bowl over the tops of the rolled enchiladas.
14. Generously top the enchiladas with the remaining shredded cheese.
15. Bake in a preheated oven (refer to your specific enchilada sauce or tortilla packaging for temperature, typically 375°F/190°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the enchiladas are heated through.
16. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the counter before serving.
