Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375° F. In a small bowl, mix the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt.
Heat 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, crumble it, and season with half of the spice blend. Cook for 5-7 minutes until fully cooked, then transfer to a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the diced potatoes, onion, poblano pepper, and the rest of the spice blend. Cook for 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring frequently. Add a little water if the potatoes start to stick.
Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the cilantro and green chiles.
Return the ground beef to the skillet along with the enchilada sauce. Mix well to coat. Top with shredded cheese and cover with foil. Bake for 15 minutes, then remove the foil and set the oven to broil. Bake for an additional 3-5 minutes until bubbling and the cheese is browned. Garnish with cilantro before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, include more chili powder or use spicy enchilada sauce.
If you prefer a different type of cheese, feel free to mix it up with your favorites.
