Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
9 oz cheese tortellini
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef with chopped onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
2. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in enchilada sauce and diced tomatoes with juice. Bring to a simmer.
4. Add tortellini directly into the sauce. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top. Cover again and let it melt, about 2–3 minutes.
6. Remove from heat. Add dollops of sour cream and top with fresh cilantro.
7. Serve hot and enjoy the melty, saucy, cheesy deliciousness.
Notes
For extra heat, stir in some chopped jalapeños or hot sauce with the enchilada sauce.
Don’t overcook the tortellini—check after 5 minutes to keep them perfectly tender.
