  5. Add Cheese Topping: Top with fresh mozzarella and the other 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake and Serve: Wrap in foil and bake for 20 minutes at 375°F (190°C) Uncover the foil and bake 5 more minutes until cheese is bubbly. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

  • For variety you can use shredded rotisserie chicken in place of beef.
  • Add cream cheese to the beef filling for an added creamy texture.
  • For extra flavor, mix in chopped bell peppers or jalapeños.
  • Also can be made ahead, and place in the fridge until ready to bake for an instant pre-cooked meal.
  • Ensure you have the freshest taste by using homemade sugar free enchilada sauce.
