Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add ground beef and onion, breaking up meat with a spoon until no pink remains, ~8 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 350°F. Pour 0.75 cup enchilada sauce into a 9x13-inch baking dish, coating the bottom.
Step 4
Warm tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel to make them pliable.
Step 5
Fill each tortilla with ~3 tbsp cooked beef mixture and 2 tbsp cheese. Roll tightly, tucking in sides.
Step 6
Arrange burritos seam-side down in the baking dish in a single layer.
Step 7
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over burritos. Top with remaining cheese.
Step 8
Bake uncovered until sauce bubbles at the edges and cheese melts, ~12 minutes.
Step 9
Let rest 2 minutes. Serve with sour cream on the side.
