Description

These 5 Ingredient Beef Enchiladas are a quick and delicious meal featuring seasoned ground beef, chunky salsa, red enchilada sauce, and melty four-cheese Mexican blend wrapped in warm flour tortillas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 cup chunky salsa
  • 1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 (8-ounce) package Borden® Cheese Thick Cut Shredded Four Cheese Mexican (about 2 cups)
  • 8 (8-inch) flour tortillas (or corn tortillas if preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the lean ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat, return to medium-low heat, and stir in the chunky salsa. Heat through and remove from heat.
  3. Pour half of the red enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Warm the tortillas as per package instructions. Spoon 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into each tortilla and add a heaping tablespoon of shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. Remove foil for the last 5 minutes if you prefer a browned cheese topping.
