Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 15 ounces Crushed tomatoes
• 1 cup Chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 8 medium Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking up any clumps with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and cook for another 3-4 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic, 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the meat mixture to a bowl. Set aside.

Step 5

To make the enchilada sauce, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of chili powder, 0.5 teaspoon of cumin, 0.5 teaspoon of paprika, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Cook for 30 seconds.

Step 6

Add the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth to the saucepan. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 7

Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce across the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 8

To assemble the enchiladas, lay a tortilla flat on a work surface. Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the ground beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese down the center of the tortilla. Roll it tightly and place seam-side down into the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 9

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese and all of the Monterey Jack cheese over the top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from oven, garnish with fresh cilantro if desired, and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
