1️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and chopped onion.
Cook until the beef is fully browned and the onions are soft (about 6–8 minutes).
Drain excess grease, if needed.

2️⃣ Add Enchilada Sauce

Pour in ½ cup of enchilada sauce and stir to coat the beef mixture.
Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes so the flavors meld together.
Set aside.

3️⃣ Assemble the Enchiritos

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spoon a generous amount of the beef mixture into the center.
Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
Roll the tortilla tightly, burrito-style, and place it seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

4️⃣ Add Sauce and Cheese

Pour the remaining ½ cup of enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas in the dish.
Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheese over the top evenly.

5️⃣ Bake

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the Enchiritos for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

6️⃣ Garnish & Serve

Remove from oven.
Top with sliced green onions and black olives, if using.
Serve warm with extra sour cream or hot sauce on the side for that Taco Bell flair!
