Beef-Bean Enchiladas image

This is my grandson's favorite enchilada recipe. From Sunset Favorite Recipes. I don't fry the tortillas anymore - I nuke them in the microwave for about 10 seconds.

Categories     Beef

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb ground beef, extra lean
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb refried beans
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/3 c taco sauce
1 c olives, quartered
20 oz enchilada sauce
vegetable oil
12 corn tortillas
3 c cheddar cheese, shredded (i use a mexi-blend)
sour cream
green chili salsa

Steps:

  • 1. In a frying pan saute ground beef and onions until meat is browned and onions are soft. Stir in beans, salt, garlic powder, taco sauce, and olives; heat until bubbly.
  • 2. Heat enchilada sauce; pour about half into an ungreased, shallow 3-quart baking dish. Pour oil to a depth of about 1/4-inch in a small frying pan; heat. Dip tortillas, one at a time, in hot oil to soften; drain quickly. Place about 1/3 cup of the ground beef filling on each tortilla, and roll to enclose filling. Place, seam sides down, in sauce in baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over tortillas; cover with cheese.
  • 3. Bake, uncovered, in a 350ºF oven for about 15 minutes or until thoroughly heated. (Or cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day); if taken directly from refrigerator, increase baking time to 45 minutes).
  • 4. Garnish with olive slices. Spoon sour cream and chile sauce over each serving to taste.
