Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
- 6 medium flour tortillas
- 1 can 16 ounces refried beans
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1 can 10 ounces red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- Optional toppings: sliced black olives sour cream, chopped cilantro
Instructions
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon. Drain excess grease, then stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan or microwave until soft and spreadable.
- Lay a tortilla flat. Spread a layer of refried beans down the center. Add a scoop of seasoned beef and a sprinkle of diced onions. Roll up the tortilla like a burrito, tucking in the sides as you roll.
- Place each rolled enchirito seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiritos. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese generously on top.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the dish with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with sliced black olives, sour cream, or chopped cilantro if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
