Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 small onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes (with green chiles)

1 can (6 oz) tomato paste

1 cup beef broth

2 teaspoons chili powder

1 teaspoon cumin

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 medium corn tortillas

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)

½ cup sour cream (for serving)

Fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking it up as it cooks. Add the diced onion and garlic, sautéing until the onion is soft, about 3-5 minutes.

      Stir in the diced tomatoes, tomato paste, beef broth, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

        In a separate skillet, lightly heat the tortillas one at a time over medium heat until they are pliable (about 20-30 seconds per side).

          Assemble the enchiladas: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish.

            Pour the remaining beef mixture over the enchiladas, making sure they are generously covered. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

                Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm, garnished with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
