This Cheesy Enchilada Beef Tortellini Skillet is comfort food with a spicy, savory twist, featuring ground beef, cheese tortellini, and a creamy enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 bag (20 oz) cheese tortellini, fresh or frozen
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (14 oz) fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the skillet. In a large skillet, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Sauté aromatics. Add the finely diced onion and 2 tablespoons minced fresh garlic. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Brown the beef. Add the 1 pound ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook through and no pink should remain.
  4. Add tomatoes and sauces. Stir in the 14 oz can of fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained, the 10 oz can of red enchilada sauce, and 2 cups beef broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
  5. Cook the tortellini. Add the 20 oz bag of cheese tortellini to the simmering sauce. Cook according to package instructions until tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  6. Finish with cheese and sour cream. Stir in 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar-jack cheese blend and 1/4 cup sour cream until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy and well combined.
  7. Season and serve. Season with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

Use fresh or frozen tortellini. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
