  • Add ground beef, ground cumin, and chili powder to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes until the beef is browned.
  • Stir in enchilada sauce and mix well, heating through for about 2 minutes.
  • Lay out flour tortillas, spoon beef mixture into each, sprinkle with cheese, and roll tightly. Place seam-side down in baking dish.
