Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 2 pounds ground beef
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 (4 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
• 8 flour tortillas
• 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1.5 teaspoons chili powder
• 1.25 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 2.5 cups enchilada sauce
• 0.25 medium onion, finely chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Step 2

Stir 1 cup Cheddar cheese, sour cream, parsley, taco seasoning, oregano, and black pepper into ground beef until cheese is melted. Mix in enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic, and salt; bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and simmer until sauce is slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Lay a tortilla onto a work surface and spoon about 1/4 cup meat sauce down the center of tortilla. Top meat sauce with 1 tablespoon black beans and a sprinkling of black olives. Roll up tortilla, enclosing filling; lay seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.

Step 4

Spoon any remaining meat sauce over rolled tortillas. Scatter any remaining black beans and black olives over the top. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar cheese.

Step 5

Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling, 20 to 22 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

Step 6

Gather ingredients and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
