Description
A cozy, saucy enchirito made with seasoned ground beef, creamy refried beans, diced onion, red enchilada sauce, and melted cheddar cheese, all wrapped in soft flour tortillas for a comforting homemade dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 ounce taco seasoning mix
- 1/4 cup water
- 15 ounces red enchilada sauce
- 15 ounces refried beans
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 1 small white onion, finely diced
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the lean ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles. Drain excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning mix and 1/4 cup water. Simmer for a few minutes until the beef is evenly coated and flavorful.
- Warm the red enchilada sauce in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Warm the refried beans in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth and spreadable.
- Warm the flour tortillas briefly so they are soft and easy to roll.
- Spread a portion of the refried beans down the center of each tortilla. Top with seasoned beef and a sprinkle of finely diced white onion.
- Roll each tortilla burrito-style and place seam-side down on a plate or in a serving dish.
- Spoon the warm red enchilada sauce over the top of each rolled tortilla.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the sauce and serve immediately while hot and melty.
Notes
- Warm the tortillas before rolling to help prevent tearing.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese for smoother melting.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Freeze wrapped portions for up to 2 months and reheat with extra sauce if needed.
