Instructions:

  1. Brown the Beef: Begin by browning the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, using a spatula to break it into crumbles as it cooks. This should take approximately 5-7 minutes, or until the beef is no longer pink.

  2. Add Bell Peppers: Once the beef is browned, add in the diced green and red bell peppers. Stir well to combine, allowing the peppers to cook with the beef for about 2 minutes until they begin to soften.

  3. Seasoning and Simmering: Drain any excess fat from the skillet, then sprinkle the taco seasoning over the beef and peppers. Add 1/2 cup of water to the skillet, stirring everything together until the seasoning is evenly distributed. Allow the mixture to simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

  4. Prepare Tortillas: Preheat your oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each flour tortilla. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the beef mixture on each tortilla.

  5. Roll and Arrange: Carefully roll up each tortilla, enclosing the beef mixture and cheese inside. Place the enchiladas seam side down in a greased 13×9-inch baking dish, arranging them snugly next to each other to fit.

  6. Top with Salsa: Spoon the mild salsa evenly over the top of the enchiladas in the baking dish, ensuring each one is generously coated with salsa.

  7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake the enchiladas for 18 minutes, or until they are heated through.

  8. Final Touch: Once heated, remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchiladas. Return them to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional few minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  9. Serve: Once the cheese is melted and golden, remove the enchiladas from the oven. Serve them hot with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream on the side for a refreshing contrast to the spicy flavors of the enchiladas.
