Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- In a skillet over medium heat, add ground beef. Sauté until browned thoroughly, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
- Stir in the diced onion and cook until it’s softened, around 2-3 minutes. Add refried beans and half a cup of enchilada sauce. Mix well until heated through.
Assembly
- Heat flour tortillas either in the microwave or on a skillet. Lay each tortilla flat, add a few spoonfuls of the beef and bean mixture in the center, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
- Fold in the sides of the tortilla and carefully roll it up to contain the filling. Place the enchirito seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Baking
- Once all the enchiritos are in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with any leftover cheese.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serving
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top with sour cream, sliced black olives, and shredded lettuce. Enjoy!
Notes
For a lighter option, try ground turkey or chicken. You can also use whole wheat tortillas for added nutritional value. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
