Enchiladas are a favorite meal at my house. Perfectly seasoned ground beef and homemade red enchilada sauce? Perfection. You can use any kind of filling and that’s what makes enchiladas so much fun and versatile. Sneak some vegetables in there if you’d like.

You can make the red enchilada sauce ahead of time and then whip these enchiladas up on a weeknight.

You can certainly omit the sliced black olives but the lime and hot sauce are almost required here.
