I’ve made many, many, many chicken enchilada recipes. I felt like it was time to switch things up! There are beef enchiladas, and then there are BEEF enchiladas… these my friends are to die for! If you are tired of the same old hum drum enchiladas, you must make these! So glad I did! I served with Spanish rice, sour cream, lettuce and salsa – this was a very quick and very delicious meal! Perfect for a weeknight dinner or even better on the weekend with friends and family over.

Then tightly roll the tortillas and place seam side down in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the enchiladas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese and olives.
