One-Pot Cheesy Beef Enchilada Tortellini
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small yellow onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
2 cups beef broth
1 can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (14 oz), undrained
1 can red enchilada sauce (10 oz)
1 bag (20 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
1/4 cup sour cream
Fresh chopped cilantro for topping
Directions:
In a large deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and crumbled. Stir in the diced onion and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until softened.
Season the beef with garlic powder, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the minced fresh garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Pour in the beef broth, fire-roasted diced tomatoes, and enchilada sauce. Stir to combine.
Add the cheese tortellini straight into the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini are tender and cooked through.
Uncover and stir in the shredded cheddar-jack cheese until melted and creamy. Turn off the heat and swirl in the sour cream to make the sauce extra velvety.
Top with fresh chopped cilantro before serving for a fresh finish.
