Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground beef
  • 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup White onion
  • 1 tbsp Chili powder
  • 1 tsp Ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 20 oz Red enchilada sauce
  • 8 count Tortillas
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup Sour cream
  • 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. Sauté the diced onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir the chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce into the beef mixture. Simmer for 3 minutes, then remove from heat.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Assemble the enchiladas: place about 1/3 cup of the beef mixture and 2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese in the center of each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish with sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
