Ingredients
- Ground beef
- 1 pound
- Pinto beans
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed
- Onion
- 1, diced
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon
- Flour tortillas
- 8 (8-inch)
- Enchilada sauce
- 2 cups
- Cheddar cheese
- 2 cups, shredded
- Cilantro
- 1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spatula. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
- Stir in the drained pinto beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
- For each tortilla, place a generous spoonful of the beef and bean mixture in the center, then roll it up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
