Minnie's Enchiladas

My mother got this recipe when she lived in California and it became a great family favorite. It's really sort of a combination burrito and enchilada.............she always served it with mashed potatoes. It's great leftover, too. We did try freezing them but that didn't work very well........the corn tortillas weren't the same. Recipe can be doubled or tripled.

Ingredients

• 12  corn tortillas
• 2 (15 ounce) cans  enchilada sauce

• 1 (4 ounce) can  sliced  olives (optional)

1. Brown ground beef in skillet. Drain grease. Set aside.
2. Heat vegetable oil in another skillet. In another skillet heat the enchilada sauce.

Move tortilla to cutting board then place approximately 1 tablespoon of meat in center, then top with some chopped onion, olives and cheese.
