You start by browning some ground beef in a large skillet. Once browned, add in the taco seasoning and stir to season the beef. Add a little water if needed to get that seasoning evenly distributed throughout the beef.

Next, add in the enchilada sauce and stir well. Then, cut the corn tortillas into 9 pieces each with a pizza cutter. Mix those into the beef mixture.

Now, the sheet pan comes in. Line it with parchment paper or foil. This makes for easy clean up. Pour the beef tortilla mixture into the lined pan. Spread out the mixture evenly on the sheet pan.

Sprinkle the whole thing with the shredded cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes until heated through, and the cheese is all bubbly.

To serve up, cut into 8 servings and sprinkle with olives and top with a dollop of sour cream. I love how more evenly distributed the ingredients are when made this way in the sheet pan. I think you’ll love it too!

Can I use ground turkey or chicken instead of ground beef?
Yes, you can easily substitute ground turkey or chicken for the ground beef in this recipe.

Can I use flour tortillas instead of corn?
You can use either corn or flour tortillas for sheet pan enchiladas. Corn tortillas offer a more traditional flavor, which I prefer. Flour tortillas tend to be softer and more pliable. Choose the type you prefer.

What toppings can I add to the enchiladas? Feel free to customize your sheet pan enchiladas with your favorite toppings. I love olives and my family loves sour cream. Other great options include chopped cilantro, diced avocado, sliced jalapeños, guacamole, or a squeeze of fresh lime juice.

  1. 5 stars
    I’m actually giving 5 stars but that part was glitching. This was absolutely delicious, hit the spot, restaurant quality or better imo and my husbands. I also made some yellow rice from scratch to go with and those paired wonderfully. Yes, you should make this dish if you love this cuisine, and enchilada of course!!!!
