Yield: 6 servings
Cuisine: Mexican
Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; 1 small onion, diced; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 bell pepper, diced; 1 tablespoon chili powder; 1 teaspoon cumin; 1 teaspoon paprika; Salt and pepper to taste; 10 corn tortillas; 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce; 2 cups shredded cheese (such as cheddar or a Mexican blend); Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish; Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and cooked through, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add the diced onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the skillet with the beef. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place a layer of corn tortillas on top of the sauce, slightly overlapping them. You may need to cut some of the tortillas to fit the dish.
Spoon half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, spreading it evenly.
Drizzle half of the remaining enchilada sauce over the meat layer.
Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
Repeat the layers, starting with another layer of tortillas, followed by the rest of the meat mixture, enchilada sauce, and cheese.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the Enchilada Auflauf cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.
