Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef 450 grams
  • 8 whole grain tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese 225 grams
  • ¼ cup chopped onions 60 grams
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 15 ml
  • 1 can diced tomatoes 400 grams
  • ¼ cup low-fat Greek yogurt 60 grams
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin 15 ml
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder 15 ml
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce 470 ml
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish
  • 1 lime sliced into wedges

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until they’re translucent.
  • Introduce the lean ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt, pepper, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked through.
  • Once cooked, drain any excess fat and add in the can of diced tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Take a tortilla and add a generous scoop of the beef mixture. Top it with a dollop of Greek yogurt and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
  • Repeat this process for the remaining tortillas.
  • Pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas ensuring they’re completely covered.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.
  • Remove from the oven and let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  1. For an added protein boost, consider adding black or pinto beans to your beef mixture.
  2. If you’re aiming for a spicier kick, toss in some chopped jalapeños or use a spicier enchilada sauce.
  3. While we recommend whole grain tortillas for better nutritional value, you can swap them for your preferred tortilla type.
  4. To ensure the tortillas remain soft and don’t dry out, make sure they’re completely covered with the enchilada sauce.
  • Garnish your Bodybuilders Lean Beef Enchiladas with fresh cilantro and a slice of lime on the side.
  • Serve alongside a fresh salad or steamed vegetables to keep your meal balanced and nutritionally rich.
  • For those looking to amp up their carb intake, consider pairing these enchiladas with a serving of brown rice or quinoa.
  • Lastly, savor every bite, knowing you’re fueling your body right, one delicious meal at a time!
