Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray; set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and break up with a wooden spoon, cooking and stirring often until fully browned. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Stir the taco seasoning and water into the ground beef in the skillet and cook over medium heat for another 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
  • Lay out the tortillas and scoop the seasoned ground beef into the center of each tortilla, distributing equally until all of the meat is used. Use a spoon to arrange the meat in a straight line down the center of each tortilla.
  • Roll each tortilla up tightly and place into the baking dish seam side down. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce all over the enchiladas.
  • Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the enchiladas.
  • Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is fully melted.
  • Serve hot with the toppings of your choice.
