This isn’t our first enchilada casserole and it probably won’t be our last, but it is one that I’m particularly fond of thanks to how beefy, saucy, and cheesy it is. It’s comfort food through and through, and it’s the kind that’s easy to whip up on any hectic weeknight since there’s very little prep work to worry about – the oven does most of the work for you and you still get to sit down to a hearty, zesty, and delicious dinner.

The only work you’re really doing here is browning up some ground beef and onion with taco seasoning. That’s it. The rest of the “work” is layering the ingredients together, and there’s only six of them. There’s enchilada sauce, onions, beef, seasoning, cheese, and tortillas. That’s it. Well, that and some cilantro if you’re feeling like adding a little greenery.

You can use corn or flour tortillas, but flour tends to hold up a little better since this is a rather saucy bake. It’s a great go-to dinner since the ingredient list is all items that are easy to keep on hand so when you’re lacking inspiration or a plan, you can take ten minutes and get this in the oven. And ten minutes of prep for a dinner this delicious? Well, it almost seems to good to be true! But it’s as real as it gets.
