How to Make Beef And Bean Enchiladas

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown 1 lb of ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.
Add 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of rinsed and drained kidney beans, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 cup of taco sauce, and 1/2 cup of sliced black olives.
Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until heated through.
In a small skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat.
Dip each corn tortilla in the hot oil for a few seconds per side, just until softened and pliable. Do not fry until crisp.
Remove tortillas with tongs, drain briefly on paper towels, and stack.
Pour 1 can of enchilada sauce into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the beef and bean mixture and roll tightly.
Place the seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Pour the remaining can of enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas.
Top with 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Garnish with your favorite toppings (sour cream, cilantro, green onions) and serve immediately.
