Ground Beef Enchiladas

Ground Beef Enchiladas are baked in a richly flavored red sauce and covered in cheese. Top them with cilantro, sour cream, and olives for an amazing Mexican meal.

Recipes that turn a pound of ground beef into a meal that can feed an entire family are some of my favorites. The filling for these Ground Beef Enchiladas is fantastically seasoned with onion, cumin, chili powder, oregano, and garlic powder. Plus there’s a can of stewed tomatoes to help bind everything together and add more tomato flavor.

A can of beef broth gives the tomato sauce a rich flavor. It’s also heavily seasoned with garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano.

   How To Add More Spice To This Recipe

   The chili powder gives these enchiladas some spice, but if you want to raise the heat level and make them spicy beef enchiladas, add a chopped jalapeno to the skillet when you cook the ground beef and onion, add a half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sauce, or serve the enchiladas with sliced pickled jalapenos and Cholulu hot sauce.
