Delicious beef enchiladas layered with cheese, tortillas, and enchilada sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 small yellow onion (diced)
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tablespoons)
- 1 4-ounce can diced green chiles
- 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn (or canned, drained)
- 2½ cups red enchilada sauce (divided)
- 10 to 12 corn tortillas (or small flour tortillas)
- 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend (divided)
- Salt and black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef and cook until mostly browned, breaking it up as it cooks.
- Add diced onion and cook 3 to 4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
- Stir in taco seasoning until evenly coated. Add diced green chiles, black beans, and corn. Cook 2 minutes to warm through. Taste and add salt/pepper if needed.
- Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish. Add a layer of tortillas (overlap and tear to fit).
- Add half of the meat mixture. Spoon ¾ cup enchilada sauce over the top. Sprinkle with 1 cup cheese.
- Repeat: tortillas, remaining meat mixture, ¾ cup enchilada sauce, 1 cup cheese.
- Add one final layer of tortillas. Top with remaining enchilada sauce and the last 1 cup cheese.
- Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 to 15 minutes more until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Rest 10 minutes before slicing or scooping. Serve with toppings as desired.
Notes
- Let the enchiladas rest before serving to maintain the layer structure.
- Feel free to add toppings like sour cream, salsa, or avocado.
