Description

Beef Skillet Enchiladas are a flavorful and comforting one-pan dinner featuring seasoned ground beef, smoky turkey bacon, and melty plant-based cheese. This quick and easy recipe combines bold spices and a rich enchilada sauce (natural) for a satisfying meal perfect for busy weeknights or family dinners.

Ingredients

Scale

Proteins

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 4 slices smoked turkey bacon

Aromatics

  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

Sauces and Condiments

  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (natural)
  • 1 tbsp vegetarian Worcestershire sauce

Cheese and Wraps

  • 1 cup plant-based cheese, shredded
  • 8 soft tortillas (use gluten-free if desired)

Spices

  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp chili powder

Other

  • Pinch of natural gelling agent (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Filling: Cook the smoked turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, then remove and set aside. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until translucent and fragrant. Add the ground beef, breaking it up into small pieces, and cook until no longer pink. Stir in vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, cumin, paprika, chili powder, and half of the enchilada sauce (natural) to create a savory filling.
  2. Assemble the Enchiladas: Lay each tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center. Sprinkle with crispy turkey bacon pieces and plant-based cheese. Roll each tortilla tightly and arrange them seam side down in the skillet in a snug pattern.
  3. Add Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce (natural) evenly over the rolled enchiladas ensuring each is well coated. Scatter the rest of the plant-based cheese on top to achieve a melty, bubbly finish when baked.
  4. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the skillet for 15 to 20 minutes or until the plant-based cheese is bubbly and slightly golden. Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes after baking before serving.

Notes

  • Use freshly ground spices to enhance flavor.
  • Do not overfill tortillas to make rolling easier and neater.
  • Prep toppings such as veggies and bacon ahead to streamline cooking.
  • If enchilada sauce is too thin, simmer gently to thicken before pouring on enchiladas.
  • Add a pinch of natural gelling agent to the sauce for a saucier texture if desired.
