Ingredients
  

1 lb ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (15 oz) refried beans

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (red or green)

8 flour tortillas

2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend

1 tsp ground cumin

1 tsp chili powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish

Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Jalapeño slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

    Cook the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned (about 5-7 minutes). Drain excess fat.

      Add Aromatics: Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Continue cooking until the onion is translucent (3-4 minutes).

        Season the Mixture: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well and cook for an additional minute.

          Combine with Beans: Remove from heat, and stir in the refried beans until combined.

            Prepare the Tortillas: On each tortilla, spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

              Add Enchilada Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well-covered.

                Cheese It Up: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.

                  Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                    Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh cilantro, and serve hot with sour cream and jalapeño slices on the side.
