Method
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and a pinch of salt. Sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it up with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir in minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, oregano, and cayenne. Toast the spices for 1 minute.
- Pour in the tomato sauce and broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. If using, stir in the black beans. Simmer for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Assembly
- Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave (20 seconds) to make them pliable.
- Spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla, add a sprinkle of cheese, and roll tightly.
- Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the top and scatter the remaining cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
Baking
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, sliced avocado, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime before serving.
Notes
Healthy options include using lean ground turkey and adding lots of vegetables. For a vegetarian version, consider roasted sweet potatoes, black beans, and corn.
