Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 12 corn tortillas, halved and cut crosswise into 1-inch wide strips
  • 1 pound 90 percent lean ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped fine
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 (15-ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 6 ounces Colby Jack cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
  • 3 scallions, sliced thin on bias

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add tortilla strips and fry until spotty brown, about 7 minutes; transfer to paper towel–lined plate.

2. Cook beef, onion, and salt in now-empty skillet over medium-high heat, breaking up meat with spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and stir in enchilada sauce and 2 cups tortilla strips. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup tortilla strips, Colby Jack, olives, and scallions over top. Reduce heat to low and cook until cheese is melted, about 3 minutes. Serve with sour cream.
