Instructions

Make the Ground Beef Filling
- Combine ground beef, onion, and minced garlic in a non-stick fry pan or cast-iron skillet.
Cover and cook over medium-high heat until the meat begins to brown and is no longer pink in the center, stirring often.*
- Once the ground beef begins to brown, add taco seasoning and stir until it’s evenly distributed.
Add the lime juice and stir to combine.
- Continue cooking, uncovered, until the mixture is browned, stirring occasionally.
Once the meat is lightly browned, remove the skillet from the heat and add 1 cup cheddar cheese, black olives, corn, and cilantro and stir to combine.
- Assemble the Beef Enchiladas
Pour ½ cup enchilada sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Add ¾ cup of filling to the center of a tortilla. Roll tightly and place in the baking dish. Repeat with 7 remaining tortillas and the rest of the filling, arranging them in a single layer in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour remaining enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas and spread evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups cheese evenly over tortillas.
- Bake & Serve
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbly.
