Main Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef lean
- 1 cup cooked rice white or brown
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 8 count flour tortillas 8-inch
- 2 cups enchilada sauce or homemade
- 0.5 cup onion chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp salt or to taste
- 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro chopped
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and garlic, and sauté until onion is translucent.
- Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in cooked rice, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Divide the beef mixture evenly among the tortillas. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with cheddar cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
