Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is no longer pink; drain excess fat.
- Stir in undiluted cream of mushroom soup, enchilada sauce, milk, and chopped green chilies.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Tips & Substitutions
For a quicker preparation, use pre-cooked ground beef or turkey. You can substitute the cream of mushroom soup with cream of chicken for a different flavor. If you want a bit of heat, add some diced jalapeños. For a vegetarian option, try replacing the beef with black beans or lentils. This recipe is similar to Enchilada Dip, so consider serving it with tortilla chips on the side.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the enchiladas hot, topped with additional cheese and olives. Pair with a fresh green salad or Mexican rice for a complete meal. This dish also goes well with guacamole and sour cream on the side. For a heartier option, consider serving it alongside Beefy Enchilada Skillet.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Alternatively, you can microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes, ensuring they are heated evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn tortillas?
Yes, you can substitute flour tortillas for corn tortillas if you prefer. Just keep in mind that the texture and flavor will differ slightly. Flour tortillas tend to be softer and may hold more filling, but they will still work well with this dish.
What can I use instead of green chilies?
If you don't have green chilies, you can use diced bell peppers for a milder flavor or diced jalapeños for added heat. Another option is to use a small amount of hot sauce to achieve a similar spice level.
How can I make this dish spicier?
To increase the heat level, consider adding chopped jalapeños or a splash of hot sauce to the beef and onion mixture. You could also try using a spicier enchilada sauce or adding crushed red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
