    Beef enchiladas smothered in red enchilada sauce and melted cheese

    Beef enchiladas are the heart of Tex-Mex home cooking — corn tortillas dipped in chile gravy, rolled around seasoned ground beef and cheese, and baked under more sauce and cheese until bubbling. They’re the dinner that’s been on Texas tables for generations.

    Step by stepInstructions

    1. Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    2. Brown the beef with the onion, about 6 minutes. Season with cumin and garlic powder.
    3. Warm a little oil in a skillet and quickly dip each tortilla to soften.
    4. Fill each tortilla with beef and cheese, roll up, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
    5. Pour the chile gravy over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes until bubbling. Garnish with diced onion.

    💡 Chef tips & storage

    Dip the tortillas briefly in warm oil (or the gravy) so they roll without cracking. Top with raw diced onion for the classic diner finish.
