If you are needing a quick dinner these Easy Beef Enchiladas are perfect. Enjoy a Mexican Dinner at home in no time at all.  Beef Enchiladas full of great flavor and smothered with cheese. My family loves Mexican food. We have taco night weekly (sometimes even a couple of times per week). Since discovering Oven Tacos it may become even more frequent . Every once in awhile I like to switch things up for the hubby and make him beef enchiladas. This recipe is super simple and so filling.

Easy Beef Enchiladas

For years I was always worried that my kiddos would be intimidated by the red sauce found in enchilada recipes. But a few years back I decide to make them for dinner and surprisingly they liked them.  Such a simple dish and so happy that we can have this on our dinner menu frequently.

I will quite often make a couple dishes of enchilada’s and place one in the fridge for a quick and easy lunch too! I keep a jar of red sauce in the fridge to “freshen them up” if needed.

You can serve up these Easy Beef Enchiladas with a bit of lettuce and tomatoes on the side or they are great all by their lonesome. I will quite often grab a bag of tortillas chips on the cheap at Aldi to have on the side. They are great for scooping up the toppings.
