Let’s Get Cooking!

How to Make Low FODMAP Beef Enchiladas

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). While it’s warming up, let’s tackle the beef!
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it’s browned, this usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Don’t forget to drain excess fat; you want the beef to be nice and lean, right?
Next, stir in the chili powder, cumin, paprika, and a couple pinches of salt and pepper. You’ll want to stir this mixture frequently for about 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant. The spices really start to shine at this point!
Warm your corn tortillas in a separate pan or pop them in the microwave for around 30 seconds until they’re pliable. This makes it way easier to roll them up without them cracking!
Now for the fun part! Assemble the enchiladas: take a scoop of your seasoned beef and place it into each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them generously, because, yum! If you’re feeling cheesy (aren’t we all?), sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes, until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Your kitchen will smell incredible during this time!
Don’t forget to garnish with fresh cilantro before serving, if you like. It adds a beautiful touch and fresh flavor!
