Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 red onion chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef lean
  • 2 tablespoons Mexican seasoning low sodium
  • 8 corn tortillas 4"
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce low sodium
  • 2 cups shredded cheese Mexican blend

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add ground beef and cook until no longer pink, breaking it up as you go along. Stir in seasoning, remove from heat, and set aside.
  • In an 8x8 baking dish, spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Layer 4 of the tortillas over top (you may need to overlap them a bit). Spread half of the beef mixture and then 1 cup of cheese over the tortillas.
  • Repeat with remaining ingredients: another layer of tortillas, remaining beef mixture, 1 cup of cheese and the remaining enchilada sauce.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
