  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • ½ cup sour cream (for serving)
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
  • Sliced jalapeños (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess grease and mix in taco seasoning according to packet instructions.
  3. Lay out the flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spoon some beef mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  4. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let cool slightly before serving with sour cream, cilantro, and jalapeños if desired.
