Print Recipe

This dish features soft tortillas filled with savory ground beef, onions, and seasonings, then rolled up and baked under a smoky chili sauce and melted cheddar cheese. It’s a Tex-Mex classic—warm, cheesy, and layered with flavor—that brings everyone to the table.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 pounds ground beef

  • 1 medium onion, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons flour

  • 2 tablespoons chili powder

  • 2 cups beef broth

  • 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 12 flour tortillas (8-inch size)

  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

  • Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the sauce

In a skillet, heat vegetable oil, then whisk in flour and chili powder to form a roux. Cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth and tomato sauce. Add cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 2: Cook the beef filling

In another skillet, cook ground beef with diced onion and garlic until browned. Drain excess fat and stir in 1/2 cup of the prepared enchilada sauce. Set aside.

Step 3: Fill the tortillas

Lay out tortillas and spoon beef mixture down the center of each. Sprinkle with cheese, then roll tightly.

Step 4: Assemble the dish

Spread 1/2 cup of sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place rolled tortillas seam side down, then pour remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle generously with cheese.

Step 5: Bake until bubbly

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 6: Garnish and serve

Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro, and serve warm with sides of choice.
