Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F. In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt together.
In a large oven-safe skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, crumble it, and season with half of the spice blend. Cook for 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet, reduce heat to medium, and add potatoes, onion, poblano pepper, and the rest of the spice blend. Cook for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently until the potatoes are tender. If sticking occurs, add a couple of tablespoons of water as needed.
Once potatoes are tender, mix in cilantro and green chiles.
Return the cooked ground beef to the skillet, pour in the enchilada sauce, and stir to coat everything. Sprinkle cheese on top and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove foil and switch oven to broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, until bubbly and cheese is slightly browned. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

Make sure to cut the potatoes uniformly for even cooking.
You can customize the cheese choice based on your preference for extra flavor.
This casserole can be made ahead of time and reheated for a quick meal.
