Hearty Ground Beef Enchiladas
These cozy ground beef enchiladas are packed with savory filling and plenty of melty cheese for the perfect family dinner.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about sitting down to a pan of warm enchiladas after a busy day. This recipe hits the spot with seasoned beef, beans, and a rich sauce that brings everyone running to the kitchen table.
My secret for the best results is to warm your tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds before rolling them up. This makes them nice and pliable so they will not crack when you fill them.
🧺 Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

👩🍳Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Stir the taco seasoning and the black beans into the cooked beef.

Pour about half a cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9 by 13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.

- 6
Place the tortillas in the baking dish with the seam side down.
- 7
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolls and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese.

Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the sauce is hot.
