Ingredients

Method

1
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and brown the hamburger, breaking it apart as it cooks, until no pink remains (about 5–7 minutes). Drain excess fat if needed.
2
Add the diced garlic and chopped onion to the cooked hamburger, stirring constantly until the onion softens (about 3–4 minutes).
3
Stir in the cumin and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
1 minutes
4
Add the can of crushed tomatoes, mild red enchilada sauce, and diced green chilis to the skillet and mix well. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
5
Cut the cream cheese into small cubes and add it to the meat sauce, stirring gently until the cream cheese melts completely (about 2–3 minutes).
6
Pour about one-third of the sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
7
Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to roll.
8
Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the meat and cream cheese mixture down the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with a small handful of the Colby and jack cheese mixture, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
9
Pour the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas, covering them evenly.
1 minutes
