→ Main Ingredients

01 - 1.5 pounds ground beef
02 - 1 tablespoon dried minced onion flakes or 1 small onion, diced
03 - 1 can (16 ounces) refried beans
04 - 1 package taco seasoning
05 - 3 cans (10 ounces each) enchilada sauce
06 - 12 corn tortillas, 6-inch diameter
07 - 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

# Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
02 - In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat and return beef to skillet. Mix in onion flakes or diced onion, refried beans, and taco seasoning. Continue to cook over low heat until thoroughly heated. Set aside.
03 - Heat enchilada sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Pour 1 cup of the warm sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
04 - Wrap corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 45 to 60 seconds, until soft and pliable. Brush both sides of each tortilla with heated enchilada sauce.
05 - Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Add 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up tortillas and place them seam-side down into the baking pan. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
06 - Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with the rest of the shredded cheddar cheese.
07 - Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and enchiladas are thoroughly heated.

# Notes:

01 - For a more tender tortilla texture, ensure tortillas are fully softened before filling.
