Taco Enchilada Tostada With Cheese Beef

Beef Enchiladas are made with six simple ingredients of lean ground beef, black beans, taco seasoning, enchilada sauce, corn tortillas and Mexican style shredded cheese.

Taco Tuesdays in my household go beyond the average taco. From Taco Zucchini Boats to Taco Chili, there are so many ways to amp up taco night with unlimited variations of the beloved taco. Enchiladas is another variation… basically a taco smothered in a savory sauce. Today I am sharing my ground beef enchiladas, but you can take this recipe and easily change it to your personal preference. Maybe add some green chiles…. swap ground beef with shredded chicken… add vegetables… whatever you can think of making this a fantastic recipe to have on hand.

Beef Enchiladas

Beef Enchiladas have a simple but delicious flavor inside with lean ground beef, taco seasoning and enchilada sauce. Beans are also added as a "filler" to make the meat go further because trust me, nobody is going to eat just one. Oh, and of course there is a little cheese inside for extra flavor and to help hold everything together. You don't need a whole lot as far as toppings go. Some more enchilada sauce is poured over top with more cheese and after baking, my family likes some fresh cilantro and sour cream. Easy peasy.

Corn or Flour Tortillas?

Typically enchiladas are made with corn tortillas. However, flour tortillas also work perfectly with this recipe and no instructions need to be altered. I recommend corn tortillas but if your family prefers flour then go for it!

Tips & Tricks

This recipe is so simple that there aren't a lot of tips to share. The one thing to pay attention to is coating each tortilla with enchilada sauce before placing the meat mixture inside. You need the tortillas to be wet before wrapping to avoid having the tortillas rip, plus they will just bake better in the oven when the enchilada sauce is completely covering each tortilla.

Leftover Corn Tortillas

With three ingredients: olive oil, salt and corn tortillas, you can make some crunchy Corn Tortilla Strips to top salads, soups and more.  Get full recipe and instructions by clicking HERE.
