Equipment

  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 9x13 glass baking dish

Ingredients
  

  • 1 can Gluten-Free Enchilada Sauce 28 oz
  • 1 lb Ground beef 
  • 1/2 Small Yellow Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (and 1/4 cup extra for sprinkling)
  • 14 Corn Tortillas - we love the extra soft Mission Corn Tortillas

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • In a large skillet, brown 1 pound of ground beef.  Cook on medium-high heat until completely cooked through and no pink is found.    
  • Finely chop half of an onion and add to the pan with the ground beef and cook until the onion is translucent.  Remove from heat.
  • Mix 1 cup of sour cream into your beef mixture.
  • Next, prepare your enchilada prep station. Place a 9x13 glass baking dish out.  Put 1 cup of cheese in a small bowl.  Open your enchilada sauce and place 14 corn tortillas on a plate.  Bring your beef and onion mixture over.  
  • In a 9x13 glass baking dish, pour a layer of enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of the dish.  Dip your first corn tortilla into the sauce coating both sides.
  • Using a spoon place 2 heaping tablespoons of meat mixture along with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese onto the sauced corn tortilla.  Roll it and place it seam side down into the sauced baking dish.  And....repeat!  
    I like to add more sauce to the baking dish as I go.  Then when the last tortillas are rolled, I top the enchiladas with the remaining sauce.
  • Bake the enchiladas for 20-30 minutes at 375 degrees.  The enchiladas will be bubbling hot when they are cooked through.  
  • Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and then bake a few extra minutes until the cheese has melted.
