Description

A quick and easy recipe for Cheesy Beef Enchilada Tortellini that combines ground beef, cheese tortellini, and enchilada sauce for a delicious meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
  • 1 package (9 ounces) refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  2. Add ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, cook the cheese tortellini according to package instructions. Drain and add to the skillet with the beef mixture. Stir to combine.
  5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top and cover the skillet. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
  6. Serve warm, garnished with fresh cilantro if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
