INGREDIENTS

  • Oil

    • 2 teaspoons olive oil

  • Vegetables

    • 4 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 large bell pepper, diced

  • Protein

    • 🐄 1 pound ground beef

  • Beans

    • 1 (15 ounce) can chili beans

  • Spices & Seasoning

    • 1 teaspoon cumin

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, then add onions and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper; sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3

Add ground beef; cook and break up with a spatula until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Drain grease.

4

Stir in chili beans, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Add 1 cup enchilada sauce and simmer for 5 minutes on medium-low heat.

5

Spread remaining enchilada sauce evenly in a baking dish. Cut tortillas to fit the dish and create layers: tortilla, beef mixture, and cheese. Repeat for two layers, ending with cheese. Cover with foil.

6

Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is browned, another 5 to 10 minutes.

7

Let baked enchilada rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
