Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for a few minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Season the beef mixture with garlic powder, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Pour about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Take a handful of shredded cheese and form it into a circle on the baking dish, making sure the cheese is evenly distributed and not too thin. Repeat this step to create as many cheese “tortillas” as needed for the number of enchiladas you want to make.
- Spoon some of the beef and vegetable mixture onto each cheese “tortilla” in the baking dish.
- Carefully roll up each cheese “tortilla” with the beef mixture inside to form the enchiladas. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Once all the enchiladas are rolled up and in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, spreading it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve the cheese and beef enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and sour cream.
- Enjoy your delicious keto-friendly cheese and beef enchiladas
