Step 1
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground beef with diced onion, breaking up with a spoon, until no pink remains, about 5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cumin and half the red chile sauce. Warm through, about 1 minute, then transfer to a bowl.
Step 3
Spread 1/4 cup remaining red sauce on the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
Step 4
Warm tortillas in the skillet 20 seconds per side to soften. Fill each with 2 tbsp beef mixture, roll tight, and arrange seam-side down in the baking dish.
Step 5
Pour remaining red sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle cheese evenly on top. Bake at 400°F until cheese bubbles and edges brown, 8–10 minutes.
Step 6
Remove from oven. Scatter cilantro over top and squeeze lime juice across. Serve hot.
