Directions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly 5 to 7 minutes. Stir taco seasoning mix into the beef; transfer to a large bowl reserving drippings in the skillet.

Step 3

Cook and stir sweet onion and green onion in the hot drippings until tender 5 to 7 minutes; add to seasoned ground beef along with cream cheese and salsa. Stir the mixture until the cream cheese melts completely.

Step 4

Arrange tortillas onto a flat work surface. Spoon even amounts of the beef mixture in a line down the center of each tortilla. Top beef with even portions of the pepperjack cheese. Roll tortillas around the filling and arrange into a baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas; top with olives and remaining cheese.

Step 5

Bake in preheated oven until cheese melts completely about 20 minutes.
