### **How to Make Beef and Cheese Mexican Enchiladas**
**Step 1: Prepare the Beef Filling**
– In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
– Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 8-10 minutes.
– Stir in the taco seasoning (or homemade seasoning), diced green chilies (if using), cumin, and chili powder, and mix well. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the spices to meld with the beef.
– Remove from heat and set aside.
**Step 2: Assemble the Enchiladas**
– Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
– Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a little olive oil.
– Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the baking dish and spread it out evenly. This will prevent the tortillas from sticking and add extra flavor.
– Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave for 20-30 seconds to make them pliable (this step makes them easier to roll).
– Place a tortilla on a flat surface and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture down the center. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
– Carefully roll up the tortilla, folding in the edges as you go. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
**Step 3: Top with Sauce and Cheese**
– Once all the tortillas are rolled and placed in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
– Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the sauce, covering the enchiladas completely.
**Step 4: Bake the Enchiladas**
– Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
– Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas sit for 5 minutes before serving.
**Step 5: Serve and Enjoy**
– Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and sliced avocado for an added burst of flavor.
– Serve the Beef and Cheese Mexican Enchiladas with your favorite sides like Mexican rice, beans, or a fresh salad.
