Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
2 cups enchilada sauce
8 corn tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup diced onions

Instructions

In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat, seasoning with salt, pepper, chili powder, and cumin until fully cooked (7-10 minutes). Drain excess fat.
Warm corn tortillas in a separate skillet for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture onto each tortilla along with some onions and cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
