A delicious 30-minute one-pan meal combining savory ground beef, tender cheese tortellini, and smoky enchilada sauce topped with melted cheese.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1 lb Lean ground beef (85/15)
1 package (18-20 oz) Refrigerated cheese tortellini
1 can (10 oz) Red enchilada sauce
1/2 cup Beef broth
1 1/2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack or Mexican blend cheese
1/2 cup Diced yellow onion
1 tsp Garlic powder
1/2 tsp Cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh cilantro and sour cream for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and diced onion, cooking until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent.
Step 2: Drain any excess fat from the skillet. Season the beef with garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Pour in the red enchilada sauce and beef broth, stirring to combine with the meat mixture.
Step 4: Add the refrigerated cheese tortellini to the skillet. Stir gently to ensure the pasta is mostly submerged in the sauce.
Step 5: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until the tortellini is tender.
Step 6: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the skillet. Cover for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese is completely melted.
Step 7: Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm with a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Notes

Use refrigerated tortellini for the best texture. If using frozen, increase the simmering time by 3-4 minutes.
