Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 packet (1.25 oz) taco seasoning

2 cups beef broth

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce (red or green)

1 package (9 oz) cheese tortellini (fresh or frozen)

2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

Sauté the Beef: In a large skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened (about 3-4 minutes).

    Cook the Beef: Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

      Add Flavorings: Stir in the taco seasoning and cook for another minute. Pour in the beef broth and enchilada sauce, mixing well.

        Incorporate Tortellini: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Add the cheese tortellini and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until the tortellini is al dente and heated through.

          Cheesy Goodness: Lower the heat and stir in the Mexican blend cheese until melted and creamy. Add in the sour cream and mix until combined. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve hot, enjoying the creamy, cheesy, and spicy flavors together.
