Cheesy Beef Enchilada Tortellini is a quick and flavorful one-pan dinner combining cheesy tortellini pasta with savory ground beef and zesty enchilada sauce for a Tex-Mex twist.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
- 1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup sour cream

- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional garnish)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until beef is browned and onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes (with juices), and sour cream. Mix until well combined.
- Add the tortellini to the skillet and stir to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for about 5-6 minutes, or until the tortellini is cooked through.
- Remove lid, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top, and cover again for 1-2 minutes until cheese is melted.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve hot.
Notes
- Use mild or hot enchilada sauce depending on your spice preference.
- Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- This dish is great for leftovers and reheats well.
