Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high with diced onion, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Spread 1/2 cup chile sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.

  3. Step 3

    Warm tortillas in the skillet 30 seconds per side so they don't tear. Fill each with 3 tbsp beef mixture and 1 tbsp cheese, then roll tight.

  4. Step 4

    Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining chile sauce over the top, then scatter remaining cheese over all.

  5. Step 5

    Bake until cheese bubbles and edges are golden, 10–12 minutes. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.

Tools you’ll need
