Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 6 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheese blend
- 2 cups enchilada sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- Fresh parsley or cilantro, for garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté chopped onions until soft.
- Add ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it apart. Season with garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
- Lay out each tortilla and fill with the beef mixture and some shredded cheese. Roll tightly.
- Spread a layer of enchilada sauce in a baking dish and place rolled tortillas seam side down.
