Beef and Bean Enchiladas



Ingredients:
1 Pound ground beef
2 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 C. bell pepper sliced
2 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 15oz can black beans/or pinto beans
1 Tbsp. Cumin
1/2 tsp. Paprika
pinch of pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 C. diced tomatoes
6 large tortillas
16 oz Salsa
1 C Colby Jack Cheese
1 C sliced olives
1 Can Enchilada Sauce
Sour Cream


Instructions:
Cook the ground beef in a skillet, once it is cooked, add the bell pepper, garlic, beans, tomatoes, cumin, paprika, pepper and salt. I also added a few drops of hot sauce ( my hubby loves food with lots of heat ). In a 9X13 baking dish, pour a small layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the pan. Fill each tortilla with the meat and bean mixture, and fold up tortilla like a burrito. Place each enchilada snug in the baking dish. We fit 6 enchiladas in one pan. Once they are fit into pan, pour another cup or two of the enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Then top with as much cheese as you'd like and then add the olives on top. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 20-25 minutes. Top with sour cream.

Serve with fruit; we had apple wedges.
