Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 4 (10-inch) flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce

Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef with the onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is cooked through and the onion is softened, about 8 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the sour cream and enchilada sauce.
  3. Divide the beef mixture among the four tortillas. Sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Roll up the burritos and place them seam side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  4. Pour the sour cream-enchilada sauce mixture over the burritos. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  5. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve hot.
