Time 55m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1 ½ teaspoons ground cumin
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon garlic powder
2 (14.5 ounce) cans stewed tomatoes with juice
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
nonstick cooking spray (such as Pam®)
10 corn tortillas
½ cup cottage cheese
2 tablespoons cottage cheese
1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese, divided
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  • Season beef mixture with cumin, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Add stewed tomatoes with juice and enchilada sauce; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • While beef mixture is simmering, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Layer 1/2 of the tortillas with damp paper towels on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high until warm, 30 seconds to 1 minute. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
  • Mix cottage cheese and chiles together in a small bowl. Place 1 tablespoon cottage cheese mixture in each tortilla and fold in half.
  • Place 1/2 of the beef mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 1/2 cup pepper Jack cheese and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese. Place cheese-filled tacos over the cheese. Pour remaining beef mixture over the tacos. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until thoroughly heated, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard the foil, top with remaining pepper Jack and Cheddar, and bake until cheeses are melted, 4 to 5 minutes more.
