Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the ground beef. Cook until browned, breaking the meat into small crumbles as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Reduce heat to medium and stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meat is evenly seasoned and the liquid has reduced. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Warm the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave until soft and spreadable.
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread about 2-3 tablespoons of refried beans in a line down the center of the tortilla. Add 2-3 tablespoons of seasoned ground beef on top of the beans.
Sprinkle a small amount of diced onion and shredded cheddar cheese over the beef.
Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling, folding the sides in slightly as you go to create a burrito-like roll. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling until all six Enchiritos are assembled and placed snugly in the baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the enchilada sauce.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Remove the Enchiritos from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional diced onions or your favorite toppings, if desired.
