Sirloin and Spinach Enchiladas

I’m not sure if my photo looks very appetizing for this recipe but I assure you that these were pretty yummy.  I had meant to add in black olives (because I love them) but forgot when I was gathering everything, so I made them without the olives.  I really think that black olives would have been wonderful in these enchiladas.  As I sit here thinking, I bet that some jalapenos cooked into the sirloin would be good too and give it a little kick.  Of course, you could also add a hot salsa which would do the same (my salsa is mild).

A few hours prior to preparing these, I made Fresh Tomato Salsa and Guacamole to serve with them.  The salsa went into the recipe.  I dipped chips into my guac but my husband smeared it on the top of the enchiladas, either way, they were great.
