Ingredients
Method
Step 1: Cook the Ground Beef
- In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, using a spatula to break it into small crumbles. Season with salt and pepper.
- Once fully browned, remove from the stove and set aside.
Step 2: Prep Your Layers
- While the beef is cooking, grate your cheddar cheese and chop your onion.
- In a cast iron skillet or saucepan, heat the red enchilada sauce until it’s hot and bubbly.
Step 3: Warm the Tortillas
- Dip each corn tortilla briefly in the hot enchilada sauce to soften it. Let it soak for a few seconds, just until pliable, but not falling apart.
- Place the softened tortilla directly on an oven-safe plate.
Step 4: Stack It Up
- On top of the first tortilla, spoon a portion of the ground beef, sprinkle some cheese, and scatter chopped onions.
- Repeat with another sauce-dipped tortilla, more beef, cheese, and onions—creating a stack of 3 or 4 layers depending on your appetite.
- Repeat this process to create 4 total servings on individual oven-safe plates or on a large baking sheet.
Step 5: Bake and Serve
- Place the plates or tray in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10–15 minutes, just until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Optional: Top each enchilada stack with 1–2 freshly fried eggs.
- Let the enchiladas sit for 2–3 minutes before serving.
