Step-by-Step Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions become translucent and fragrant.
- Once the onions are translucent, add 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet. Sauté for an additional 30 seconds.
- Add 1 pound of ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin. Cook for 5–7 minutes, until browned.
- Pour in 1 cup of red enchilada sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer for about 3–5 minutes.
- Reduce heat to low, then add 4 ounces of cream cheese to the skillet. Stir until fully melted and incorporated.
- Gently fold in 20 ounces of refrigerated cheese tortellini. Cook on medium-low heat for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top. Cover and cook on low heat for 2–3 minutes until melted.

Notes
This dish can be prepared ahead of time, but add cheese just before reheating for optimal melted texture.
