# Instructions:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown ground beef until fully cooked, breaking up the meat as it cooks. Transfer beef to a plate and drain excess fat from the pan.
02 -
Add a small amount of oil to the skillet. Sauté diced onion until translucent and softened, about 2–3 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
03 -
Return cooked beef to the skillet. Stir in taco seasoning, tomato paste, green chiles, and the water indicated on seasoning packet. Simmer until liquid evaporates and filling thickens. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
04 -
Preheat oven to 180°C. Spread 120 ml enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of a 23x33 cm casserole dish.
05 -
Place about 80 g beef filling along the center of each tortilla. Top each with 30 g shredded cheese. Roll tightly and arrange seam-side down in the prepared dish. Repeat with all tortillas.
06 -
Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with remaining 115 g shredded cheese.
07 -
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until cheese is fully melted and bubbling.
08 -
Serve hot, garnished with desired toppings such as sour cream, cilantro, pico de gallo, avocado, or cotija cheese.
# Notes:

Warming tortillas before filling makes them more pliable and prevents cracking during assembly.
