Add oil to large frying pan. Heat until medium. Add shallots, garlic, ground beef, and red peppers. Cook until no pink remains in meat and vegetables have softened. Add tomato paste, chili powder, cumin, 1 teaspoon of salt, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Cook until spices are fragrant about one minute. Add corn, tomatoes, beans, olives, and catsup. Mix well and heat until warm. In a 13"x9" dish spread 3/4 cup of tomato sauce in bottom of pan. Spread evenly. Put beef mixture down the center of a tortilla.
