Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 (9 oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini
  • 1 (10 oz) can red enchilada sauce
  • ½ cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro (optional)

Instructions

  • Cook the Ground Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Drain excess fat for a cleaner sauce.
  • Add Onion and Garlic: Stir in diced onion and cook until softened. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Season the Beef: Sprinkle in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir well to coat the beef with the spices.
  • Pour in the Enchilada Sauce: Add the red enchilada sauce to the skillet and bring to a simmer to combine flavors.
  • Stir in the Cream Cheese: Add cream cheese in small chunks. Stir until fully melted into the sauce, creating a creamy texture.
  • Boil the Tortellini: While the sauce simmers, cook cheese tortellini according to package directions. Drain and add directly to the skillet.
  • Combine and Mix: Gently toss the tortellini in the sauce until evenly coated. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes to absorb flavors.
  • Top with Mozzarella: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella over the skillet. Cover and cook for 2–3 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Garnish and Serve: Add fresh chopped cilantro on top, if using. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness.
