Cheesy Beef Enchilada Recipe

It’s so important having great easy dinner ideas in your meal rotation. Some of my very favorite recipes to create! Try my Weeknight Chicken Enchiladas too! Follow Picky Palate on Instagram for daily recipe inspiration.

It’s always a blast partnering with Old El Paso to bring you new simple dinner ideas. Hands down some of my very favorite type of recipes to develop. I know how busy the weeknights get with the kids, so I love having simple dinners on regular rotation.

Instead of rolling individual enchiladas, I cut up tortillas and did a “layered enchilada” dish that’s done in about 30 minutes from start to finish. All simple pantry ingredients too. This is a great dinner recipe to get the kids to help with. They’ll love feeling apart of dinnertime.

Hope you enjoy!

    Is this freezable? Has anyone tried it? I love this recipe & would love the have it in the freezer reasy to go when baby #2 gets here.

    Making this tonight but using chicken instead of ground beef, using homemade enchilada sauce instead of canned and did half with flour tortillas and half with corn tortillas!! Now just to wait the 20 mins to bake. My stomach is already growling!!

  3. Brew Sports Pub

    Wow! This could make for some delicious bar food! I like this recipe very much! I think with a little tweaking to help pair better with beer, it could be a hit! Just thinking out loud. Great article and recipe!

  4. Don

    I also love Old El Paso, but prefer a much hotter sauce like Sadies or 49505, or I just make my own.

    I make a similar dish almost every week. Way to broaden our choices.

    Looks yummy! Pinning this for later, but I’m going to use corn tortillas since I have a kid that can’t have the gluten, and corn tortillas taste better. 😉

  6. Leigh Anne

    We are having it tonight but my kids want it with corn tortillas. Anyone tried it with corn instead of flour tortillas?

  7. Angie | Big Bear's Wife

    I love that you made this into one large bake/casserole instead of individual Enchiladas!Also, I really, REALLY love that it’s done in like 30 minutes!

    We have been on a Mexican food kick – my boys would devour this cheesy goodness!

  9. Don Rutherford

    I make a similar enchilada recipe, even earlier this week.

    I don’t tear the tortillas, but fit them in the pan going up the sides and then fill it with the ground beef mixture, extra hot for me, and then layer tortillas on top with enchilada sauce then cheese on top. I serve with cut up sweet onion, tomatoes, and shredded lettuce.

    I haven’t used the black beans or corn, just refried, or whole pinto beans. Will have to try that as I have it several times a month.

    Thanks

    Don
