  3. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3–4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for another 30 seconds.
  4. Add chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the beef evenly.
  5. Pour in 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and mix until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.

  7. Spread a few tablespoons of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish.
  8. Fill each tortilla with the beef mixture, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the dish.
  9. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Remove from oven, let rest for 5 minutes, and top with cilantro and desired garnishes.
