Chef's Note

For extra flavor with minimal effort, add a tablespoon of canned diced green chilies to the beef mixture. If you're in a hurry, you can use pre-shredded cheese to save time on prep. These enchiladas reheat well if you want to make extra for lunch the next day.

Ingredients
  • 4 oz ground beef

  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning

  • 2 count small flour tortillas

  • 1/2 cup enchilada sauce

  • 1/3 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 2 tablespoons diced onion

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened.

    Add 4 oz of ground beef to the skillet and cook for 5 minutes until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks.

  • 5

    Pour 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce into a small baking dish (sized for 2 enchiladas).

  • 6

    Warm 2 tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make them more pliable.

    Place half of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cheese on each.

  • 8

    Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
