In a large skillet, brown the ground beef over medium heat until it is no longer pink; tilt the pan and spoon out the fat to discard. Add onion to the pan and cook 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened. Then add the garlic, cumin, salt and enchilada sauce. Reduce the heat and simmer 5 to 10 minutes, or until the onion is tender.
