Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and diced onion until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes.
Add minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture into each tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese, then roll up and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
Bake for 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

Use corn tortillas for a more traditional flavor.
Can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
Make ahead and refrigerate before baking for a convenient meal.
