Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 (28 oz) can enchilada sauce (I used mild Rosarita enchilada sauce)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 4 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • sour cream, optional for garnish
  • 2-3 green onions, chopped – optional for garnish

Instruction

  • In a large skillet (use oven safe skillet if you plan to finish it in the oven), brown the beef along with the onion and garlic until beef is fully cooked. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Then add enchilada sauce, salt, and sugar. Stir until combined and bring to a simmer. Allow to simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove 3 cups of the mixture from the skillet and set aside.
  • Top the remaining mixture in the skillet with 6 of the corn tortillas followed by 2 cups of the cheese.
  • Then top with 1 1/2 cups of the sauce mixture that you removed from the pan and the remaining 6 tortillas.
  • Then finish with the last of the sauce mixture and the remaining cheese.
  • Now if you used an oven safe skillet, turn on your broiler in the oven and place the skillet in there for a few minutes until the cheese is nice and bubbly. Or you can cover the skillet and allow to cook on the stove top on medium-low until the cheese is melted.
  • Remove from oven and allow to sit for about 3 minutes and the serve.
  • Garnish each serving with sour cream and green onion. Serves 6-8.
