Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup diced green bell pepper
  • ½ cup diced white onion

  • 1 15 ounce can black beans drained
  • 1 cup salsa

  • 2 15 ounce cans enchilada sauce

  • Place olive oil in a large skillet, and saute onion and green bell pepper over medium heat until both are soft. To the skillet add the shredded beef and salsa. Stir until warmed through.
