In a large skillet, brown beef, then drain. Return beef to pan and add taco and burrito seasonings, along with 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer, uncovered, until liquid is absorbed.

Gas range skip this step
Heat electric range top (glass top works too) to high heat and wait 1-2 minutes, until the burner is red hot. Carefully drag a tortilla over the range top to brown. Repeat on other side. Tortilla should be browned, yet pliable.
Place tortilla flat on a plate. Add 1/3 cup of the bean mixture in a straight line down the center of the tortilla. Then add 2/3 cup of the beef mixture, 2 teaspoons each of the onion and olives, then ½ cup cheese. Roll (taquito style) onto a greased broiler pan or large baking pan. Repeat for remaining burritos.
When you have filled the sheet, cover the row of burritos with 1 can of enchilada sauce per sheet (5-6 burritos). Sprinkle remaining cheese , onions and olives.
Bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, or until bubbly in the center.
Serve with Guacamole, sour cream and hot sauce.
