Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
To a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil, onion, and garlic. Cook for 4-5 minutes, until softened.
Add ground beef, cumin, chili powder, salt and pepper. Break into pieces, and cook until little pink remains.
Add beans, cilantro, 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, and lime juice. Mix to incorporate. Cook through for another 4-5 minutes.
Cover the bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish with a layer of enchilada sauce, spreading into an even layer.
Fill each tortilla with ~1/3 cup of the meat mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
Place seam-side down into your baking dish. Repeat, lining up tightly side-by-side.
Cover the top of your enchiladas with remaining enchiladas sauce and another generous sprinkle of cheese.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted and everything is warmed through.
Serve with toppings of your choice - I love cilantro, sliced jalapeños, green onion, Greek yogurt or sour cream, and sliced avocado. Enjoy!
