Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a skillet, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Add the carne asada and cook until browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened.
- Add the cooked carne asada back to the skillet. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Warm the flour tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.
- Spread a spoonful of red enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with a portion of the carne asada mixture and some shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, making sure they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle additional shredded cheese on top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side.
