2 cups (Shredded)
Enchilada Sauce

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the chopped onions until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Once the meat is browned, drain any excess fat, then stir in 1 cup of enchilada sauce and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well until the cheese is melted and combined.

Lay a flour tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture down the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
5
Repeat the rolling process for the remaining tortillas and beef filling.
6
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas.
7
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top, ensuring all enchiladas are covered.
8
Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden.
9
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro, sour cream, or your favorite toppings.
