~ BEEF-TOPPED BEAN ENCHILADAS ~

1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1 Medium onion
1 Jar (16 oz) Salsa
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 to 2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon garlic salt
1 can (16) oz refried beans
12 flour tortillas(8 inches), warmed
1 1/2 cups(6oz) shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 1/2 cups(6oz) shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
2 cans (2 1/4 oz each) sliced ripe olives, drained, divided

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the salsa, tomato sauce, cumin and garlic salt(I also used taco seasoning to make the meat have more flavor); cook 3 minutes or until heated through.

Meanwhile, spread 2-3 tablespoons refried beans over each tortilla. Sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon of cheddar cheese, 1 tablespoon of monterey jack cheese, and 1 tablespoom olives. Roll up.

Place seam side down in a greased 9 x 13 baking dish. Top with beef mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheeses and olives. Bake uncovered at 350 for 20 minutes or until heated through.
