# Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly spray a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
02 -
In a large skillet over medium heat, crumble and cook ground beef until evenly browned and fully cooked through. Drain excess grease and return beef to skillet.
03 -
Add taco seasoning and water to the cooked beef. Stir well and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the mixture begins to thicken. Incorporate the refried beans and mix until heated and combined. Remove from heat.
04 -
Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
05 -
Place one flour tortilla on a flat surface and spoon approximately 1/3 cup beef-and-bean mixture down the center. Sprinkle with a blend of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
06 -
Pour remaining enchilada sauce over rolled tortillas, spreading to cover completely. Sprinkle the rest of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.
07 -
Transfer baking dish to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbling.
08 -
Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with sliced black olives, chopped cilantro, sour cream, and sliced green onions if desired before serving.

For easier rolling, warm tortillas in the microwave or wrapped in foil in the oven to make them pliable.
