Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef 96/4
  • 1/2 Tbsp 8g Olive Oil
  • 1 250g White Onion, finely diced
  • 5 cloves 25g Garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tsp Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/2 C 120g Enchilada Sauce
  • 4 oz Shredded Cheese*
  • 16 Extra Thin Corn Tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400ºF and spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium- high heat. Add the onion and push to the sides, placing the ground beef in the center. Brown one side of the ground beef for 4-5 minutes before flipping and browning the other side for 3-4 minutes longer. Add the garlic to the onions and stir around the edges while the beef cooks. Mince the beef with a spatula to finish cooking.
  • Add the dry spices and enchilada sauce, stirring everything together, before turning off the heat.
  • Add the shredded cheese and stir until evenly mixed. Set aside.
  • Wrap the tortillas in a paper towel and microwave for 1 minute. Spoon the beef mixture into a tortilla, rolling it tight and placing sealed side down on the baking sheet.
  • Once all 16 tortillas are rolled on the baking sheet, spray with cooking spray and bake for around 30 minutes until crispy golden brown.
