Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds ground beef
1 (15-ounce) can red
enchilada sauce
1 cup beef broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
1⁄2 teaspoon onion powder
1⁄2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1⁄4 teaspoon ground black
pepper
12 corn tortillas
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1⁄4 cup sour cream, for garnish
1 avocado, sliced, for garnish
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish


Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350oF.

2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a spoon as

it cooks, until browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the excess fat from the cooked beef, then transfer half

the beef (about 31⁄2 cups) to an airtight container and refrigerate to use for Meal 2 (it will keep for up to

5 days). Transfer the remaining beef to a large bowl.

3. Add the enchilada sauce, broth, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl

with the ground beef and stir to combine.

4. Arrange a layer of tortillas over the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish (breaking them as

needed to fit), then spoon about 1 cup of the beef mixture over the tortilla layer. Top evenly with 1⁄2 cup

of the cheese, then repeat the layers until all of the ingredients except the last cup of cheese are used. Top evenly with the remaining 1 cup cheese.

5. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the top is bubbling. Top with the sour cream and avocado, garnish with

the cilantro, and serve.
