    ⏲️ Time needed

    This recipe takes about 20 minutes to prep and 25 minutes to bake, for a total of 45 minutes.

    🥘 Ingredients

    • water
    • tomato sauce
    • chili powder
    • salt
    • garlic cloves
    • ground beef
    • onion
    • oregano
    • garlic salt
    • soft corn tortillas
    • shredded cheddar cheese
    • sliced black olives

    📋 Instructions

    Combine all the sauce ingredients and simmer while preparing the rest of the enchiladas.

    Brown the ground beef and onion seasoned with oregano and garlic salt in a skillet until fully cooked.

    Place the meat filling in the middle of the tortilla, roll up, and place in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.

    Repeat until all tortillas are used or the dish is full. Pour sauce on top and cover with cheese and olives.

    Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.

    💭 Tips

    Look for corn tortillas labeled as "super soft" to avoid issues with the tortillas breaking when you assemble the enchiladas. If your tortillas are breaking when you roll them, you can either dip them into the enchilada sauce before filling, or you can steam them in the microwave for 10-15 seconds covered with a damp paper towel.

    ❄️ Freezer instructions

    To freeze enchiladas, place filled enchiladas into a freezer- and oven-safe pan and cover with foil. Package sauce, cheese, and olives separately and assemble before cooking. Label as follows:

    Ground Beef Enchiladas      Date __________________

    Thaw completely, pour sauce over enchiladas, and top with cheese and olives. Bake at 350°F for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
