Instructions
Cook the Beef:
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
- Add ground beef, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until browned and fully cooked through.
- Drain any excess fat, if needed.
- Stir in cumin, paprika, coriander, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes to bloom the spices.
- Add tomato paste and stir for another 2 minutes.
- Pour in beef broth, stirring to combine. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon a portion of the beef mixture down the center and sprinkle with a little Mexican cheese.
- Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and beef mixture.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas, then top with the remaining Mexican cheese.
Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Keep an eye on the cheese to avoid overbaking.
