This hearty casserole is a comforting twist on traditional enchiladas, designed for easy sharing at parties or family dinners. Ground beef is seasoned with cumin, garlic, and chili powder, then mixed with cream-style corn, diced tomatoes with green chiles, and ripe olives for a complex, savory-sweet flavor profile. The mixture is layered with torn tortillas and melted Monterey Jack cheese, creating a tender, cohesive bake that avoids the hassle of rolling individual tortillas. It’s a satisfying, protein-packed main that feels homemade and indulgent.
