It’s so easy and quick to put together. It has all the tastes of rolled and baked enchiladas but without the fuss of 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 them to be. 

Ingredients for Skillet Enchiladas:

• ground beef
• gluten-free enchilada sauce – I like to use the Hatch brand. It’s gluten-free and has a terrific flavor.
• fire-roasted diced tomatoes
• diced chilies  
• salsa, gluten-free
• gluten-free corn tortillas – I used 15 6-inch tortillas and tore them into bite-size pieces.
• dairy-free Mexican-style cheese

Make sure all packaged foods are labeled gluten-free. 

Instructions

Brown one pound of ground beef over medium-high heat in a large skillet. 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.

What to Serve with Enchiladas: 

• Refried beans
• Black beans
• Mexican rice
• Corn muffins
• Corn casserole
• Avocado
• Guacamole
• Lime wedges
• Dairy-free sour cream
• Additional cheese

Are Corn Tortillas Gluten-Free?:

You will need to make sure they are labeled gluten-free. Corn tortillas normally don’t contain wheat, but they could be made on shared equipment. 

Quick Tip

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. In the morning, take the package out of the freezer 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.
