Ground Beef Enchilada Skillet
This cheesy beef enchilada skillet is an easy one-pan dinner cooked in just 20 minutes. With seasoned ground beef, savory enchilada sauce and gooey cheese it’s the perfect comfort food.
Ingredients
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1 orange bell pepper diced
- 1 small onion diced
- 15 oz can black beans
- 1 ½ tbsp half packet taco seasoning
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 8 oz cheddar cheese shredded and divided
- 12 corn tortillas cut into triangles
- 2 - 10 oz cans enchilada sauce
- Cilantro to garnish
Instructions
- Dice the bell pepper and onion.
- Cut the tortillas into 8 triangles (like a pizza)
- To a large skillet, add the ground beef, bell pepper, and onion and cook over medium heat breaking the meat apart as it cooks, until no longer pink.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, minced garlic, and black beans.
- Stir in the cut tortillas, half the cheese, and enchilada sauce. Cover and simmer for 8 minutes, stir, cover and simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes.
- Top with more cheese, cover and simmer for a few minutes until the cheese is melted
- Top with chopped cilantro to serve.
Notes
- Don’t over-simmer the skillet after adding the tortillas or they can become too soft and mushy. Keep a close eye in those final moments.
- Drain excess grease from the beef before adding the sauce to keep the skillet from becoming oily
- Garnish with cilantro, avocado, sour cream, or jalapeños right before serving to brighten the rich flavors.
