# Steps to Prepare:
01 -
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté diced onion until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add ground beef to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, chili powder, and ground cumin. Cook until beef is thoroughly browned, breaking it up as it cooks. Drain excess fat if needed.

Pour in red enchilada sauce and bring mixture to a gentle simmer.
04 -
Add cream cheese in chunks. Stir continuously until melted and sauce is well combined.
05 -
Fold in refrigerated cheese tortellini. Cook over medium-low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender and thoroughly heated.
06 -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella evenly over the skillet. Cover and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until cheese melts and becomes bubbly, or broil briefly until cheese is slightly golden.
07 -
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
# Extra Cooking Tips:

Ensure tortellini is just heated through to maintain ideal texture and avoid overcooking.
