Ingredients

 

US CustomaryMetric

 

1x2x3x

• 1 medium yellow onion - chopped
• 2 pounds ground beef (minced beef)
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1.5 cans enchilada sauce
• 10 small tortilla chips
• 1 pack cheddar cheese

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Chop onion and add to a hot pan with olive oil to brown. Once the onion is translucent, add ground beef and brown evenly, stirring occasionally.
• As the meat is browning, add in seasonings. We used a packet of taco seasoning as that’s what we had on hand.
• Meanwhile, in a 13×9 casserole dish, coat the bottom of the dish with 1/2 cup or so of enchilada sauce.
• Your beef should be completely browned and ready to assemble the tortillas.
• Spoon the beef down the center of a tortilla and then roll it tightly and place seam-side down into the casserole dish. Continue to do this with all your tortillas until the dish is full.
• Pour the rest of your enchilada sauce over top of the enchiladas and cover the baking dish with foil.
• Place in the preheated oven to bake for 30 minutes.
• After the timer goes off, remove the foil and sprinkle cheese over top of your enchiladas and bake for an additional 5 minutes to melt the cheese.

Notes
