Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until beef is browned and onions are soft. Drain excess fat.
Stir in chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes more.
Warm tortillas slightly to make them easier to roll.
Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Garnish with your favorite toppings and serve hot.
