Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef (About 1 pound)
- 1 Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce (Red is preferred)
- 6-8 Tortillas (Corn or flour)
- 2 cups Shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)

Instructions
Cooking Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until no longer pink. Drain excess grease if needed.
- Stir in diced onion and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until it softens. Add garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add salt, pepper, cumin, and chili powder. If using, add green chiles here.
- Pour in enchilada sauce and stir. Cut tortillas into strips or small squares and stir them into the skillet. Let everything simmer for 3 to 5 minutes so the tortillas soften.
- Sprinkle cheese over the top, reduce heat to low, and cover the skillet. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve topped with sour cream, cilantro, avocado, or other desired toppings.
