Lazy Enchilada Skillet
A quick one-pan meal that's easy to make in 20 minutes!
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1-2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning store-bought or homemade (recipe in notes)
- 1 large burrito-size tortilla or 3-4 smaller tortillas
- 12-15 ounces red enchilada sauce I used La Preferida Organic red sauce
- 2 cups freshly shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
- Optional toppings: Sour cream, cilantro, sliced green onion
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉/200℃. Heat the olive oil in a large cast iron skillet (or oven safe skillet) over medium high heat. Add the ground beef and use a spoon to break it up. Cook for 6-7 minutes until cooked through. Add in the taco spice blend and 1/4 cup of water to the mixture, stirring to coat the beef in spices.
- Top the beef with the tortilla(s), then pour the enchilada sauce on top. Top that with the shredded cheese. Bake uncovered at 400ºF for 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden brown in spots and bubbly on top. (If the cheese isn’t browning, you can turn the broiler on high for 1 minute or until browned!)
- Remove the pan from the oven. Use a large serving spoon to scoop out servings into shallow bowls and add additional toppings, if using.
Notes
- Taco seasoning recipe (if needed) - 1 tablespoon chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. I have also used Siete mild taco seasoning and Harmony blends.
- Gluten free - Use a Siete cassava tortilla or all corn tortillas.
- HYH diet - You will need to use a homemade enchilada sauce like the one from these healthy beef enchiladas, along with the taco seasoning recipe. TortillaLand or HEB tortillas are great, but any brand with minimal ingredients will work.
