How to make ground beef enchiladas

First, brown the ground beef in the skillet.

Second, add all of the seasonings and stir everything together with the salsa.

Next, heat the red enchilada sauce in a saucepan. Take each corn tortilla and dip into the sauce to warm them up.

Now, let's put the enchiladas together. Just add the mixture to the corn tortillas and roll each one up.

Put them in the baking dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them and sprinkle the cheese. Bake and enjoy!

It is that easy to make this delicious meal.

What Kind of Enchilada Sauce Should I Use?

We used red enchilada sauce. My kids prefer this type.

However, you can use green enchilada sauce to change the flavor up. I like them both!

You can use store bought or homemade enchilada sauce.

What are the best corn tortillas for enchiladas?

We like to use yellow corn tortillas because they hold up better. However, feel free to use what you prefer.

If you like flour tortillas, you can use those.

Tips for Making Ground Beef Enchiladas:

  • You need a good skillet. We used a cast iron skillet and it's perfect for this recipe. I have the Lodge cast iron skillet but you can see all the different brands.
  • You also will need a nice 9×13 casserole dish  to bake the enchiladas in.  Amazon has some on sale right now!
  • One of our favorite time saving tips is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop onions. If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them.
  • Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen!

Easy substitutions:

  • You can try using ground turkey instead of ground beef. It is delicious and no one can tell the difference.
  • We also have used shredded chicken and that is really good. This recipe is a great way to use leftover chicken and turn it into something amazing. We make this easy chicken enchiladas recipe.
  • Another idea to try is steak enchilada recipe. Just substitute steak for the ground beef for a tasty way to change things up.
