Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
• 8 ounces canned tomato sauce
• 12 small corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups dairy-free cheese shreds
• 0.25 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in the chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper, mixing well with the beef mixture.

Step 6

Add the canned diced tomatoes and tomato sauce to the skillet. Stir well, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 7

Spread about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

Step 8

Warm the corn tortillas slightly in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable.

Step 9

Place about 2 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center of each tortilla, top with a sprinkle of dairy-free cheese shreds, and roll tightly.

Step 10

Arrange the filled tortillas seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 11

Pour the remaining beef mixture evenly over the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining dairy-free cheese.

Step 12

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.

Step 14

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
