Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). This step is crucial for achieving that lovely golden crust on top of your enchiladas.
-
Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. A cast iron skillet is perfect for this dish, as it distributes the heat evenly, helping to achieve fantastic results.
-
Add the ground meat of your choice. Season it with salt, black pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Cook until the meat is browned, which adds tremendous flavor to the foundation of your enchiladas.
-
Stir in the green chile enchilada sauce and the chopped green chiles. The mixture should bubble gently, filling your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
-
Gently fold in the torn tortillas, ensuring they are well-coated in the sauce. This step combines the flavors and textures beautifully, allowing every bite of the enchiladas to be incredible.
-
Sprinkle the Monterey Jack evenly over the top, then add the cheddar cheese for that extra layer of creaminess and flavor. The tremendous cheese pull will be worth the anticipation.
-
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Keep an eye on it for the best results!
-
Once baked to perfection, remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing. This will allow the flavors to meld together perfectly, ensuring each piece retains its shape.
