Preparation

Step 1

Cook the ground beef or ground turkey until well done. Drain on absorbant paper towels and set aside. Mix together soup, enchilada sauce, black olives, onion, green chilies, and the black beans if you are using them. Now add the ground beef or the ground turkey and the cheese. Cut corn tortillas into strips or sections and add to to the mix. Spray a 9 x 13 casserole dish with cooking spray and then transfer the mixture to the casserole dish and bake for 45-60 minutes at 350.

***NOTE: If you want to use your crock pot instead you simply pour the enchilada mixture into a 6 qt crock pot that has been coated with cooking spray. Set temperature to low setting and set time for 4 to 5 hours.

Garnish with sour cream, guacamole and/or salsa (optional). Enjoy !! :)
