Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion chopped
  • 1 can 4 ounces diced green chiles
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 package 1 ounce taco seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 8 large gluten-free tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Colby Jack cheese
  • 1 3/4 cups pre-made enchilada sauce

Toppings

  • Sour cream
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • 1 small red onion chopped
  • 1 jalapeño sliced
  • 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Optional: 1 avocado sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheating oven to 350°F. Prepare a large skillet over medium heat with olive oil, adding chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until onions are translucent.
  • Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart as it cooks. Cook until browned, then drain excess fat.
  • Mix in the taco seasoning, green chiles, and water, stirring until fully combined. Set aside.
  • Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by spraying it with non-stick spray, then spreading 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce at the bottom.
  • To assemble, lay each tortilla flat, spreading a small amount of enchilada sauce, followed by the beef filling and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll each filled tortilla and place in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, ensuring even coverage. Top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until heated through and the cheese is melted.
  • As the enchiladas bake, prep toppings by chopping the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño, and slicing the avocado.
  • Once baked, garnish with toppings and serve with dollops of sour cream and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Enjoy!
