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!
How To Make The Best Enchilada Bake
You’ll start by cutting your tortillas into little triangles. Really any shape will do, you can even tear them into pieces. Whatever you are in the mood for.
Place half of your cut tortillas into your prepared baking dish.
You’ll brown your beef, onion and garlic.
Add your Old El Paso Red Enchilada Sauces.
A little bit of sour cream.
Top half of the meat sauce over your tortillas.
Black beans up next.
Top with corn and chopped green chilies.
Top with remaining tortilla pieces.
The rest of the meat sauce.
Cheese on top and it’s time to bake.
Cheesy, enchilada goodness. 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.
What a great idea! Love this. I’m sure this is incredibly delicious!
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!!
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!
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. 😉
We are having it tonight but my kids want it with corn tortillas. Anyone tried it with corn instead of flour tortillas?
this is my family’s preferable dish! we love old paso!
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!
Check out all those great cheesy layers!!
Yes please for dinner tonight!!
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

Delicious as is, and so many ways you could change this up! Even vegetarian if need be. What a great casserole! Once again,,thank you!
This looks so good and I love how it gives the enchiladas a fun twist! 🙂 Would it work well if I used chicken instead?
