- 1 c beef broth low sodium
- 2 8 oz cans tomato sauce good quality

- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tbsp cilantro chopped
- 12 corn tortillas
- 16 oz Colby-jack cheese shredded

Instructions
- Start by heating one tablespoon of oil in a skillet, over medium-low heat.
- Next add the onion and minced jalapeño to the skillet. Sauté them until they become softened which usually takes around 2 to 3 minutes.
- After that stir in the garlic. Let it cook for an additional minute.
- Once you've done that increase the heat. Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook it until it turns brown.
- Now it's time to pour in the beef broth tomato sauce, chili powder, sugar, cumin, salt and pepper. Give everything a stir. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile in another skillet with oil lightly fry the corn tortillas until they become pliable.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish measuring around 9x13 inches (22x33 cm).
- Spread half a cup of sauce on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Now comes assembling time! Fill each tortilla with some of that beef mixture along with some cheese. Roll them up tightly. Place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour any remaining sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle some cheese on top.
- Cover everything with foil. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20 to 30 minutes or until everything is heated through and bubbly.
- Once ready garnish your enchiladas with cilantro. Serve them alongside some sour cream, for added deliciousness!
- Enjoy these mouthwatering Ground Beef Enchiladas!
