🥘 Ingredients

9 items

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup Water
• 1 cup Refried beans
• 6 Flour tortillas (8-inch)

📝 Instructions

13 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon.

3. Drain any excess grease from the skillet, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until well incorporated.

4. Warm the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan for easier spreading.

5. Lay a tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans in the center of the tortilla.

6. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the seasoned ground beef over the beans, then sprinkle a small handful (about 2 tablespoons) of shredded cheddar cheese on top.

7. Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you roll, and place it seam-side down in a 9x13-inch baking dish.

8. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas, beans, beef, and cheese until all six enchiritos are assembled and snugly placed in the dish.

9. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiritos, covering each one completely.

10. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the sauce. If desired, add sliced black olives and chopped green onions for extra flavor.

11. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

12. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

13. Let the enchiritos cool for a few minutes, then serve warm with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, salsa, or guacamole.
