Beef Mince Enchilada Roll-Ups
Inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexican cuisine, Beef Mince Enchilada Roll-Ups are a modern twist on traditional enchiladas. These roll-ups combine the hearty comfort of beef mince with creamy cheese and zesty sauces, rolled snugly in soft tortillas and baked to perfection for a delightful burst of flavor in every bite.
Ingredients
450 grams ground beef (minced beef) - high-quality, lean
1 cup yellow onion - finely chopped
2 cloves garlic - minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon cumin
2 cups enchilada sauce - preferably homemade
8 units corn tortillas - soft
1 cup cheddar cheese - shredded 
1 unit jalapeño - sliced, optional
1 handful cilantro - fresh, chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add the beef mince to the skillet, cooking and stirring it until browned and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed.
- Stir in the ground cumin, and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Let simmer for 5 minutes to combine flavors.
- Wrap the tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for 30 seconds to soften them.
- Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, then roll up tightly and place seam side down in an oven-safe dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the roll-ups and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and sliced jalapeños, if using.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
Notes
For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the beef mixture. You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter protein option.
