Total time: 1 h
Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce; 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies; 1 teaspoon ground cumin; 1 teaspoon chili powder; Salt and pepper, to taste; 8 corn tortillas; 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese; Fresh cilantro, for garnish; Sour cream and sliced jalapeños, for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it's no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef, and cook until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the diced green chilies, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place 4 corn tortillas on top of the sauce, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom of the dish.
Spread half of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by half of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top layer of cheese, spreading it out evenly.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden brown.
Garnish the casserole with fresh cilantro and serve hot with sour cream and sliced jalapeños on the side.
