Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until translucent.
  3. Add garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add ground beef, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until beef is browned and cooked through. Drain excess fat.
