Halal Enchiladas are a delicious twist on the traditional Mexican dish, featuring spiced ground beef wrapped in soft tortillas and topped with a zesty tomato sauce and melted cheese. Perfect for a cozy dinner, these enchiladas offer a flavorful blend of spices that will tantalize your taste buds.

Ingredients

• Ground halal beef - 250 grams
• Small flour tortillas - 4 pieces
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Onion - 1 medium, diced
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Cumin - 1 teaspoon
• Chili powder - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Tomato sauce - 200 grams
• Shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella) - 100 grams
• Fresh cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Sour cream - for serving (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion is translucent.
3. Add the ground halal beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to combine the flavors.
5. Remove from heat and stir in half of the tomato sauce and half of the chopped cilantro.
6. Take a tortilla and place about 2-3 tablespoons of the beef mixture in the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
7. Pour the remaining tomato sauce over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are well coated.
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.
