Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  3. Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
  4. Stir in the enchilada sauce, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, cook the tortellini according to package instructions; drain well.
  6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked tortellini with the beef mixture.

Notes

Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. Add black beans, corn, or jalapeños for extra flavor and texture. For a creamier result, stir in a little sour cream before baking. Serve with a sprinkle of cilantro or a dollop of guacamole.
