Instructions:
-
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Prepare baking dish: Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
-
Cook beef: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain off any excess fat.
-
Add flavors: Stir in the chopped onions, garlic, onion powder, salt, pepper, and green chilies. Allow the mixture to cook for about 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
-
Bind mixture: Add just enough enchilada sauce to bind the beef mixture together. Stir until well combined.
-
Soften tortillas: Dip each corn tortilla one at a time into simmering water for a minute or two to soften.
-
Assemble enchiladas: Place a tablespoon of the beef mixture off-center on each tortilla. Roll the tortillas firmly and place them seam-side down into the prepared baking pan.
-
Prepare sauce: In a saucepan, combine the remaining enchilada sauce with the green chilies. Heat the mixture until it’s just bubbling.
-
Pour sauce over enchiladas: Pour the chili mixture over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring that the entire pan is evenly covered.
-
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes at 400°F (200°C). After 15 minutes, sprinkle the Colby cheese over the enchiladas and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
-
Serve: Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them with chips or a salad for a complete meal.
