Cook the Beef: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Add the ground beef, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned. Drain excess fat if needed.
Add Sauce and Flavor: Stir in the enchilada sauce and diced green chilies (if using). Let the mixture simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine. Remove from heat and set aside.
Layer the Casserole: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a baking dish (9×13 inches works well), layer the bottom with half of the tortilla strips. Top with half of the beef mixture, then sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheese. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, beef mixture, and the remaining cheese.
Bake: Cover the casserole with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Add Toppings: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven. Let it cool slightly, then top with a dollop of sour cream and sliced black olives if desired.
Serve: Slice into squares and serve hot. Enjoy your delicious beef enchilada casserole with your favorite sides like Mexican rice or a fresh salad!
