Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner. How about making some delicious Enchilada Beef Rollups!

Ingredients

15 lasagna noodles, cooked
2 pounds ground beef (or ground turkey)
2 cans (10 ounce each) red enchilada sauce, divided
2 ½ teaspoons ground cumin, divided
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
8 ounce cream cheese, softened
2 cups colby jack cheese, shredded

Instructions

Prepare lasagna noodles according to package directions. Lay on large sheets of parchment paper.
Brown beef in large skillet until fully cooked. Drain. Add 1 can enchilada sauce, 1 ½ tsp ground cumin and mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
In a small bowl, mix softened cream cheese with 1 tsp ground cumin until combined, set aside.
Pour ½ can of enchilada sauce in bottom of 13x9 baking dish. Using a small spatula, spread cream cheese mixture over lasagna noodles, using all the cheese until evenly coated. Top with ground beef mixture. Roll up each noodle (don't worry if some falls out) and place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat until all 15 noodles are in dish. Spoon leftover meat (that fell out onto the parchment paper) onto the noodles. Top with remaining ½ can of enchilada sauce. Finish with 1 cup of colby jack cheese. Cover with foil and bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Remove foil and top with remaining cheese. Heat until cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
To garnish, add avocado, lettuce, tomato, sour cream, cilantro, etc! Enjoy!

Notes

Not sure what toppings to use? Try avocado, guacamole, sour cream, cilantro, tomato, shredded lettuce, lime juice, or scallions.

When rolling, roll the noodles starting from the short end.

If you don’t have colby jack cheese, no worries! This dish is also delicious with shredded cheddar or shredded mozzarella on top.
