Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef 80/20 recommended
  • 1 packet Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1 onion diced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 can 10 oz Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce (mild, medium, or hot)
  • 12 Old El Paso Corn Tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend
  • Optional toppings: sour cream diced cilantro, sliced jalapeños, avocado, salsa

Equipment

  • 1 Skillet or frying pan
  • 1 9x13-inch baking dish
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Oven
  • 1 Ladle for spreading sauce

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened.
  3. Stir in Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix and ¼ cup water. Simmer until the liquid reduces and the mixture thickens.
  4. Heat corn tortillas briefly in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  5. Fill each tortilla with 2-3 tablespoons of beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with optional toppings like sour cream, cilantro, jalapeños, or avocado. Serve warm.
