Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium heat, add the lean ground beef and cook for about 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fully browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat to keep the filling healthy. Stir in the chunky salsa and heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread a thin layer of red enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Take an 8-inch tortilla, spoon a generous amount of the beef filling in the center, sprinkle with a handful of cheese, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled enchilada seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and arranged snugly.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated. Sprinkle additional cheese on top for a cheesy, bubble-topped finish. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to trap the moisture, and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, carefully remove the foil, allowing the top to crisp up. Continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, creating a golden crust.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few moments. Serve your delightful 5 Ingredient Beef Enchiladas warm, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or sliced avocado for an extra touch.
