- 8 pieces flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 can black beans (15 oz), rinsed and drained (optional)
- 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
- Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and chopped onion until the meat is browned. Drain the excess fat.

Assembly
- Place about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture in each tortilla, adding black beans if desired, then roll the tortillas and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Cooking
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving

Notes
To store leftovers, let them cool completely and cover them tightly with foil or plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. For extra flavor, consider adding spices like cumin or chili powder while the beef cooks. Optional: Use corn tortillas instead of flour for a different texture.
