Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 can 15 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 8 small flour tortillas
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup grated pepper jack cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro chopped (optional)
  • Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving, optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic for about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Drain any excess grease from the pan.
  4. Add the smoked paprika, ground cumin, sea salt, and black pepper to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
  5. Set aside half of the enchilada sauce and pour the remaining sauce into the skillet, stirring to coat the beef mixture.
  6. Lay a tortilla flat, spoon 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into the center, add a sprinkle of both cheeses, and roll the tortilla up, tucking in the sides.
  7. Place each rolled wrap seam-side down in a greased 9x13-inch baking dish.
  8. Drizzle the reserved enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle the remaining cheeses on top.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro if desired and serve with sour cream or Greek yogurt.
