Directions
-
Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula until fully cooked.
-
Stir in the salt, chili powder, and dried minced onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
-
In a separate small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans until warm and smooth. Mash if necessary to remove any lumps.
-
Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 40 seconds, or warming them individually in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
-
Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the seasoned beef into the center.
-
Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of diced fresh onion over the beef.
-
Add 1/3 cup of the warm refried beans over the beef and onion.
-
Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla up from the bottom to enclose the ingredients.
-
Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down on a serving plate.
-
Spoon 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortilla.
-
Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and top with sliced black olives.

Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm.
Substitutions: You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour, but they may be more prone to breaking when rolling.
Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of cumin or garlic powder to the beef mixture. If you prefer a spicier dish, add diced jalapeos or hot sauce.
Assembly: Ensure the filling is not too hot when rolling to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy or breaking.
