Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 can 10 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup sour cream

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
  2. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave until pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Serve topped with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream.
