Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Step 2
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is translucent.
Step 3
Add the cooked, shredded chicken to the skillet with the ground beef mixture. Stir in the ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 4
Pour about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to coat the bottom.
Step 5
Spoon a generous portion of the chicken and beef filling onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Step 6
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled-up tortillas, making sure to cover them completely.
Step 7
Sprinkle the shredded cheeses evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy on top.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, and serve hot with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, or guacamole on the side.
Step 12
Enjoy your delicious Chicken and Beef Enchiladas!
