Materials

28 oz. can red enchilada sauce (or 2 - 15 oz. cans)
3 large flour tortillas (corn tortillas can also be used)
16 oz. can refried beans
8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
2 lbs. ground beef
1 small onion, chopped
1 packet taco seasoning
14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes, drained
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
2 cups Pepper Jack cheese, shredded
4 green onions, chopped
2.25 oz. can sliced black olives, drained

Instructions

Pour 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of your slow cooker.
In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese and refried beans until smooth and combined. Spread half the mixture over one large flour tortilla, then place the loaded tortilla flat into the slow cooker.
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the meat is fully cooked, breaking it up as it browns. Stir in the taco seasoning. Add the drained diced tomatoes and cook another 3 minutes.
Drain the meat mixture. Spread half the meat mixture over the bean layer in the slow cooker.
Top with 1/3 of the cheddar cheese, 1/3 of the Pepper Jack cheese, half the black olives, and half the green onions.
Repeat the layers with another 1/3 of the enchilada sauce, a second tortilla spread with the remaining bean mixture, the remaining meat mixture, remaining black olives, remaining green onions, and another 1/3 of both cheeses.
For the final layer, place the last tortilla on top. Pour over the remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses.
Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours. Serve hot with your favorite toppings like sour cream, avocado slices, salsa, cilantro, fresh tomatoes, lime wedges, or extra green onions. Enjoy!
