These Super Easy Ground Beef Enchiladas are filled with seasoned ground beef and loads of cheese then topped with all your favorite taco toppings!
I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the search for new ground beef recipes. Then it hit me, I’ve never shared my ground beef enchiladas with you guys before! That had to be corrected immediately.
Easy Ground Beef Enchiladas Recipe
This super easy dinner recipe is pieced together with seasoned ground beef, shredded cheese and enchilada sauce. So simple, yet seriously so delicious!
I used my Homemade Taco Seasoning to make my seasoned ground beef mixture along with a little diced onion. It’s perfect in these enchiladas, burritos or tacos!
PRO TIP: Try my Ground Beef Taco mixture inside the filling, it has an extra ingredient that really takes it to the next level.
Tips for Making Ground Beef Enchiladas:
- Enchilada Sauce? NEVER put the enchilada sauce on the INSIDE of the tortillas. You’ll be sauce overloaded.
- Flour or Corn tortillas? My absolute favorite is to use a corn and flour blend tortilla, but sometimes they are hard to find. Flour tortillas will make for a more softer enchilada, while corn can hold it’s own in the sauce. It’s really up to your taste preference… for these I went with flour.
- Can you freeze enchiladas? YES! You can definitely prepare these enchiladas and then freeze before baking. Perfect for making ahead of time!
I had some extra ground beef after I filled all the enchiladas so I sprinkled it over the top of the rolled enchiladas, then topped with my homemade enchilada sauce.
What Kind of Enchilada Sauce Should I Use?
If you haven’t made my 10 minute Homemade Enchilada Sauce, now is the time! You’ll be hooked and it’s so easy to make!
You can also use store bought red enchilada sauce if you’re in a pinch.
Or, mix things up with my Homemade Green Enchilada Sauce for a zippy lime flavor!
Top the ground beef enchiladas with a generous amount of shredded cheese and then pop in the oven until bubbly throughout!
PRO TIP: Shred your own cheese for an ideal melty finish. Store bought shredded cheese tends to have flour in it, which can create a less than ideal result.
The greatest thing about these enchiladas is that the cook time isn’t too long!
Start to finish, you can get this on the table in less than 1 hour! And that’s not bad for homemade beef enchiladas!
What To Serve with Enchiladas?
Serve these homemade beef enchiladas with a side of Homemade Mexican Rice and Black Beans and you’ve got a complete meal!

Easy Ground Beef Enchiladas
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 white onion, diced
- 2 1/2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 8 soft taco size tortillas, flour or corn
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 16 oz. marbled cheddar cheese, shredded
Optional Toppings:
- Sour Cream
- Pico de Gallo
- Diced Avocado
- Diced Green Onions
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until beef is crumbled and no longer pink. Drain any fat and return skillet to oven. Sprinkle in the taco seasoning and water. Stir until combined and the water absorbs into the ground beef. Remove from heat.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13" casserole dish to evenly coat the bottom.
- Add 1/3 cup of the ground beef mixture in a straight line to the center of each tortilla. Add about 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese and roll up tightly. Lay seam side down in the casserole dish. Repeat until the casserole dish is filled with the rolled enchiladas. If you have any remaining ground beef, sprinkle it over the top of the rolled enchiladas.
- Spread the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas, making sure to coat each tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining cheese all over the top and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is bubbly.
- Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

I’m not a great cook, but ok, is that 20-25 min at 350* degree?… Instructions doesn’t say what temp… but I’m just going to try it at 350.
Shawn
Hi Kevin, the temperature should be 375 degrees F. It’s listed as the first step in the instructions, so when you start making the enchiladas, the oven will be preheating for you. Hope that helps!
Ginger
You are correct, 350 is the norm. Take foil off
Ast ten minutes to brown the cheese (or not) then rest half an hour on counter. Shred lettuce finely totop al9ng with green onion, avocado, and tomatoes.
And…if your sauce is goid like mine is, not canned or a packet of taco seasoning, Always put some inside the enchilada!
