- 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ medium yellow onion, diced

Preheat oven to 425°F. Brown ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high with diced onion, breaking up meat with a spoon, until no pink remains, ~6 minutes.

Stir in cumin, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat. Spread 1/2 cup chile sauce across the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish.
- 3
Warm tortillas in the skillet 30 seconds per side so they don't tear. Fill each with 3 tbsp beef mixture and 1 tbsp cheese, then roll tight.
- 4
Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining chile sauce over the top, then scatter remaining cheese over all.
- 5
Bake until cheese bubbles and edges are golden, 10–12 minutes. Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
