Thanks to the Geedel Rotary Cheese Grater, prepping the perfect cheese topping is a breeze, turning this dish into a stress-free delight that’s ready to impress.

Ingredients (Serves 6)

1 lb (450g) ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 cups (200g) shredded cheddar cheese

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

8-10 corn or flour tortillas

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

Optional: Chopped cilantro or sour cream for garnish

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Prepare the Cheese: Secure the rotary cheese graters to your countertop with its stable suction base. Attach the 5-blade set and use the food pusher to safely grate 2 cups of cheddar cheese into fluffy, even shreds. Set aside half for topping and reserve the rest for filling.

Cook the Beef Filling: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add ground beef, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain excess fat, then stir in 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and half the grated cheese to bind the filling.

Assemble the Enchiladas: Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Warm the tortillas slightly (microwave for 20 seconds) to make them pliable. Spoon the beef mixture into each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top and sprinkle with the reserved grated cheese.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.

Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro or a dollop of sour cream if desired. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy goodness!

Tips and Variations

Spice It Up: Add diced jalapeños to the beef filling for extra heat.

Veggie Boost: Mix in grated carrots (using the 2-blade set) for added nutrition.

Make Ahead: Assemble the enchiladas a day ahead, refrigerate, and bake when ready.

Pairing: Serve with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh green salad.
