Instructions

1. Cook the Beef
   In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
   Drain any excess fat from the skillet.
2. Add Sauce
   Stir in half of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture.
   Heat it through, allowing the flavors to meld.
3. Assemble the Tortillas
   Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
   Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
   Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream to each tortilla.
   Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
4. Top & Bake
   Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
   Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.
5. Bake
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   Bake the dish for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
6. Garnish & Serve
   Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions and black olives (optional).
   Serve warm and enjoy the nostalgic flavors of the classic Enchirito.
