The Best Beef Enchilada Skillet Recipe
If you love enchiladas but don’t want to go through the trouble of assembling them, I totally get you! I made this beef enchilada skillet to taste just like beef enchiladas without all the effort. This one pan beef enchilada casserole is super easy to make and packed with all those Tex-Mex flavors that you love! Just combine the ingredients in an oven-safe skillet on the stove, then top with cheddar cheese before baking to melty perfection! Top it off with all your favorite toppings and serve along side some salsa verde or fresh chipotle corn salsa!
Ingredients Needed
Olive Oil: To sauté the onions and start building flavor! Onion & Garlic: Onion and garlic will provide lots of flavor and aroma. Ground Beef: I like to use ground beef in this enchilada skillet, but you can also use ground chicken or turkey if you prefer. Spices: Chili powder, ground cumin, and dried oregano will spice this up to perfection! Enchilada Sauce: Red enchilada sauce makes this recipe reminiscent of enchiladas with the perfect amount of smoky spice. Feel free to use store-bought enchilada sauce or make your own enchilada sauce at home! Black Beans: I used a can of black beans here. Be sure to drain and rinse them! You could also use pinto beans. Green Chiles: For a bit of added spice and slightly tangy flavor, too! Yellow Corn Tortillas: Dice up yellow corn tortillas in little squares! These will soak up that delicious enchilada sauce. You could also use flour tortillas as well. Cheddar Cheese: Top it all off with cheese to get nice and melty in the oven!
How to Make This Recipe
Recipe Variations
Meat: You can replace the ground beef here with ground chicken or ground turkey for a lighter meal! Enchilada Sauce: Choose between red or green enchilada sauce, depending on your preference. Beans: Black beans can be replaced with pinto beans or completely omitted if desired. Veggies: Add some extra veggies! You can add corn, zucchini or spinach. Tortillas: Replace the yellow corn tortillas with white corn tortillas or tortilla chips! I don’t recommend using flour tortillas as they will get too soggy.
