📝 Preparation Steps
1
Add the enchilada sauce to a small saucepan. In a small bowl, combine the salt, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, and pepper. Add 1/2 teaspoon of the spice mixture to the enchilada sauce (reserve the remaining spice mix for the beef). Bring the sauce a simmer over medium heat; Remove from the heat and set aside.
2
In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about ⏱️ 5 minutes. Add the beef and the remaining spice blend. Cook, stirring often, until the beef is browned and crumbly, about ⏱️ 8 minutes. Stir in the green chiles and 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce; cook ⏱️ 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat, and let cool slightly.
3
Place the tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and cover with a damp paper towel. Microwave for ⏱️ 30 seconds on high to soften. Leave the paper towel over top of them to keep them moist and pliable.
4
Preheat the oven to 375°. Spoon 1/2 cup of the warmed enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Working with one tortilla at a time, spoon 1/2 cup of the beef mixture down the center of a tortilla; sprinkle with 2 tablespoons cheese. Roll the tortilla up to enclose the filling, and place in the baking dish seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling. Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining 1 cup cheese.
5
Bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the tortillas are toasted, 20 to ⏱️ 25 minutes. Let cool ⏱️ 10 minutes; top with red onion and cilantro just before serving with sour cream, if you like.
