Hearty Beef Enchiladas

Teresa Ambra
Hearty Beef Enchiladas are the best! These tasty enchiladas have a beef and chili bean filling with salsa, cheese and olives to top off the enchiladas. Great Tex-Mex entree for family or company dinners. Excellent option for Cinco de Mayo or Mexican Dinner Nights.
