- 8 corn or flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack blend)
- ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)

- Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and taco seasoning. Add half of the red enchilada sauce and stir until combined.
- Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet to prevent cracking. Fill each tortilla generously with the beef mixture and roll tightly.

- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 25 minutes or until bubbly and golden brown.
