Baked Beef Enchiladas

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 tbsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 12 corn tortillas
• 3 cups red enchilada sauce
• 3 cups grated Monterey Jack
• Neutral oil for warming the tortillas
• Cilantro and sour cream to serve

Instructions

1. 1

   Brown the beef with the onion, then stir in the chili powder and cumin and cook another minute so the spices bloom in the fat.

2. 2

   Warm each tortilla for a few seconds per side in a slick of hot oil, stacking them under a towel as you go.

3. 3

   Spread a thin layer of sauce in a baking dish, fill each tortilla with beef and cheese, and roll them seam-side down in the pan.

4. 4

   Pour the remaining sauce over the top, cover everything with the rest of the cheese, and bake at 375°F for twenty-five minutes.

5. 5

   Let the dish rest ten minutes so the filling sets, then finish with cilantro and sour cream.
