What You Will Need:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 package gluten-free taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- Kosher or fine sea salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 (15-ounce) can Hatch Chile Red Enchilada Sauce
- 8 gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese (or dairy-free alternative)
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sour cream, diced avocado
Making the Filling
Start by heating olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Once cooked, drain any excess grease if needed. Add diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, letting them soften for about 3 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning, water, and a touch of salt and pepper to balance the flavors. This savory filling comes together quickly and sets the stage for an irresistible dish.
Roll, Sauce, and Bake
Prepare the baking dish with a layer of warm Hatch Chile Red Enchilada Sauce. To soften the tortillas, briefly dip them in the sauce. Place a scoop of the beef filling down the center of each tortilla, top with shredded cheese, and roll tightly. Arrange the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish.
Once all the tortillas are filled and placed, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over them. Sprinkle the rest of the cheese across the top. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve and Enjoy!
Top the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and diced avocado for a delicious finishing touch. These enchiladas are perfect for a family dinner or an easy weeknight meal. With simple steps and big flavors, this recipe is guaranteed to become a favorite in your gluten-free kitchen!
