Kitchen Equipment Needed:

• Large skillet
• Medium saucepan
• Mixing bowls
• 9×13 inch baking dish
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Knife and cutting board
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Foil

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
• 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
• 10-12 flour tortillas
• Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
3. Season Beef: Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Stir in the taco seasoning and diced green chiles, and cook according to the taco seasoning package instructions.
4. Prepare Filling: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the sour cream until well combined.
5. Assemble Enchiladas: Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish. Place a few tablespoons of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
6. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
7. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired. Serve the enchiladas hot with your favorite toppings such as guacamole, salsa, or additional sour cream.
