To cook Fareway beef enchiladas, start by browning ground beef with onion and garlic, then mix in enchilada sauce and cheese before rolling the mixture in tortillas and baking.
First, gather your ingredients. You’ll need ground beef, onion, garlic, enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, and tortillas. Don’t forget the spices like cumin and chili powder for added flavor.
Preheat your oven to 350°F. This ensures your enchiladas will cook evenly and come out delicious.
In a skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until the onion softens. Sprinkle in your spices, stirring well to combine.
Once the beef is cooked, mix in about half of your enchilada sauce and a cup of shredded cheese. This creates a flavorful filling for your tortillas.
Take a tortilla and spoon some of the beef mixture onto it. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this for all your tortillas.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they’re well coated. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top for that gooey finish.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, cilantro, or avocado if you like. Enjoy your homemade Fareway beef enchiladas!
