Learn how to make delicious ground beef enchiladas with green sauce. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

If you’re feeling adventurous or need a substitute, you can swap the ground beef for turkey or even a plant-based meat alternative. The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility and how it can be adapted to suit different tastes and dietary preferences.

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook until fully browned, approximately 8-10 minutes.
  4. Stir in the cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, allowing the spices to meld with the beef for another minute.
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  6. Spread a small amount of the green enchilada sauce over the bottom of a baking dish.
  7. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture onto each tortilla, rolling them up tightly and placing them seam-side down in the dish.
  8. Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-covered.
  9. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top.
  10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  11. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty kick.

As you prepare this dish, remember that cooking is an art. Don’t be afraid to adjust the spices or add a personal touch. After all, food is about creating memories, just as my mum taught me.
