🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the beef filling:

   • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned.

   • Add onion and garlic; cook 3–4 minutes until softened.

   • Stir in chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.

   • Add 1/2 cup enchilada sauce and 1 cup shredded cheese to the beef. Mix well, then remove from heat.

3. Assemble the enchiladas:

   • Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.

   • Warm tortillas slightly (microwave 30 sec wrapped in a towel) to make them pliable.

   • Spoon beef mixture into each tortilla (about 1/4 cup), roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.

4. Top and bake:

   • Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.

   • Sprinkle the remaining extra cheese generously on top.

   • Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

5. Finish and serve:

   • Let cool slightly, then garnish with your favorite toppings.

   • Serve with Mexican rice, beans, or tortilla chips.
