Tip

If you like spicy food, you can season the ground meat with chili seasoning.

1
Preheat the oven to 225 °C and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
2
Drain the beans, rinse them in a colander under cold water, and let them drain.
3
Peel the garlic and chop it finely.
4
Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the ground meat and sauté, stirring constantly, for 3–4 minutes. Then add the garlic and sauté for another 2–3 minutes.
5
Add the beans and crushed tomatoes. Rinse the tomato can with water and pour it into the mixture. Season with salt, pepper, sweet paprika, dried basil, and wine vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 3–4 minutes.
6
Lay the tortillas on a large cutting board. Evenly spread the meat mixture over each tortilla and sprinkle with some of the grated cheese. Set aside about one-third of the cheese for topping. Roll up the tortillas and arrange them side by side in the prepared baking dish.
7
Sprinkle the tortillas with the remaining grated cheese and bake for 10–12 minutes, until the cheese turns golden.
8
Serve the baked tortillas on plates, add sour cream, and drizzle with lime juice. Enjoy!

Cheesy Beef Enchiladas for an easy weeknight win

Enchiladas – tortillas with beef, beans and gratinated cheese are the kind of oven-baked comfort food that feels special without being complicated. Soft wheat tortillas are rolled around a rich filling of minced beef, red beans and crushed tomatoes, then baked until the cheese turns golden and bubbly. Finished with a squeeze of fresh lime and a spoon of sour cream, this dish is perfect for busy weekdays, casual family dinners, or when you want to serve friends something warm and satisfying in about 30 minutes.

Why Enchiladas with beef and beans taste so good

What makes these enchiladas stand out is the hearty, balanced filling: savoury beef for protein, beans for extra staying power and fibre, and tomatoes for a naturally sweet-and-tangy base. Garlic, paprika and basil bring a cosy, rounded flavour, while a touch of white wine vinegar brightens everything up. The final lime juice adds a fresh pop that cuts through the richness of the melted cheese, making every bite feel lighter and more vibrant.

Easy prep tips and tasty variations

Drain and rinse the beans well—this keeps the seasoning under control and the filling clean-tasting. Simmer the sauce just briefly so it stays juicy; a too-thick filling can dry out the tortillas in the oven. Like heat? Season the beef with chilli spice as suggested, or add a pinch of cayenne. You can also swap Edam for cheddar or Gouda, or reduce the cheese and add extra beans for a lighter twist.

Best ways to serve your beef enchiladas

Serve straight from the oven while the cheese is still stretchy. Pair with a crisp side salad (cucumber, tomato, lime dressing) or simple shredded lettuce for crunch. For drinks, go for sparkling water with lime, homemade iced tea, or a ginger-lemon soda. For a great presentation, plate two rolls per person, top with sour cream, and finish with extra lime wedges.
