Enchiladas are probably one of my favorite meals and if you’re like me finding ways to make them fast and easy is a huge plus. This delicious dinner recipe is one that you will want to keep on hand.
It’s so easy and quick to put together and has all the tastes of rolled and baked enchiladas but without the fuss or heating up your oven. This recipe is gluten-free and dairy-free but you can easily switch out the ingredients if you don’t need it to be.
How to Make Skillet Enchiladas with Ground Beef:
In a large skillet, brown one pound of ground beef over medium-high heat. Chopping it up as it cooks.
After it is browned add enchilada sauce, diced chiles, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, and salsa.
Stir and cook over medium heat until heated through.
Add bite-sized torn corn tortillas to the skillet and stir. Add one cup of your favorite dairy-free or regular Mexican-style cheese. Stir occasionally while continuing to cook for 5 minutes and then lower the heat to low and let simmer for another 5 minutes.

Are Corn Tortillas Gluten-Free?:
You will need to make sure they are labeled gluten-free. Corn tortillas normally aren’t made with any wheat but they could be made on shared equipment.
How to Make This Recipe Even Easier with Pre-Cooked Ground Beef:
When you’re short on time for dinner one of my favorite meal hacks is having ground beef already cooked and frozen in one-pound packages. Take the package out of the freezer in the morning and place it in the refrigerator to thaw. When it’s time for dinner place it in the skillet to heat up and continue with the rest of the recipe.
