How To Make One-Pan Beef Enchiladas

1. Start by greasing your pan and preheating your oven as directed in the printable recipe card below.
2. In a pan on the stove you are going to cook your ground beef until it is crumbled and no longer pink. Feel free to season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Once beef is done mix in the salsa, and set aside. Pour part of the enchilada sauce into the pan.
4. Now you will assemble your enchiladas, add meat and some shredded cheese into the center of the tortillas. Roll up and place seam side down.
5. Repeat till all the enchiladas are wrapped. Pour remaining sauce over and top with shredded cheese.
6. Bake as directed and then serve with your favorite toppings.

Can I Use Corn Tortillas instead of Flour?

You can use corn tortillas to replace flour tortillas. If you use corn it is good to warm them up a bit, as they can be stiff in texture.

Then roll them up as directed and bake in the oven.

Storing Leftover Enchiladas

This is a fantastic ground beef meal prep recipe or you to consider. Whip these up and store in the fridge for packing up lunches, for a quick reheat dinner.

Or you can freeze your enchiladas assembled and un-baked for a freezer meal idea. Just prep as you would, top with sauce and cheese, then freeze for up to three months.

Bake covered at 350 degrees for 35 minutes, then uncover and finish baking until warmed through and cheese is melted.

Can I Use A Different Type of Meat

You are more than welcome to use ground turkey, ground pork, or even leftover roast. If you are using leftover roast then just chop it up and mix up as you would the ground beef.

This is a super easy ground beef enchiladas recipe but it can easily be swapped out with other meat if you want. Even a chopped or shredded chicken would taste great.

Topping Ideas For Enchiladas

• Sour Cream
• Black Olives
• Homemade salsa or Pico De Gallo
• Avocado or Guacamole
• Shredded lettuce
• Diced tomatoes
• Etc

Feel free to pile on your favorite enchiladas toppings for you to enjoy. Or eat them plain the choice is up to you.

Ingredients

Supplies

• 9x13 baking pan
• Mixing bowls

Cheesy Beef Enchiladas

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 cup chunky salsa
• 10 ounces can red enchilada sauce
• 8 soft tortilla shells (8-inch shells)
• 2 cups of Mexican style shredded cheese

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat until thoroughly cooked. Drain excess grease. Set aside.
3. Pour half of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
4. In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the cooked ground beef and salsa.
5. Spoon about ¼ cup of the beef mixture and 2 tablespoons of cheese into each tortilla shell. Wrap tightly and place into the baking dish.
6. When all of the tortilla shells are wrapped and placed inside the dish, sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the dish.
7. Place tin foil over the dish and bake for 30-35 minutes.
8. When cook time is up, remove the tin foil immediately. Allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Notes

• Do not overstuff the tortilla shells. ¼ cup of the beef mixture is plenty for each tortilla.
• Serve with sour cream, queso, and/or additional salsa.

FAQs:

• Can my dog have Beef Enchiladas? Due to the ingredients included in this recipe, it is not recommended that you share it with your dog. Most canines are lactose intolerant, so Mexican Cheese can dislike them. If you remove this and the chunky salsa and enchilada sauce, this recipe would be less damaging for your dog.
• Can my cat have Beef Enchiladas? This recipe is not ideal for your cat, especially because of all the Mexican Cheese and the hot sauces. Most cats are lactose intolerant, so giving it is not recommended. And strong flavors of the chunky salsa and enchilada sauce can harm your little friend's stomach.
