This homemade Enchirito is a cheesy, saucy, and utterly comforting fusion of enchilada and burrito — packed with seasoned beef, refried beans, and topped with a bubbling layer of red sauce and melted cheese. A family favorite that even Grandma asked for twice!

Ingredients

  • Flour Tortillas: 6 large
  • Ground Beef: 1 pound
  • Refried Beans: 1 cup
  • Onion: 1 medium, finely diced
  • Garlic: 3 cloves, minced
  • Red Enchilada Sauce: 2 cups
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese: 1 ½ cups
  • Olive Oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Chili Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Ground Cumin: ½ teaspoon
  • Salt and Black Pepper: To taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Equipment: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a skillet, sauté onions and garlic in olive oil. Add beef, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook until browned. Stir in refried beans.
  3. Prepare Your Cooking Vessel: Spread ½ cup enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.
  4. Assemble the Dish: Warm tortillas, fill with beef-bean mix and a sprinkle of cheese, roll and place seam-side down.
  5. Cook to Perfection: Pour remaining sauce over enchiritos and top with remaining cheese.
  6. Finishing Touches: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake 10 more minutes until bubbly.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Rest 5 minutes before serving. Garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracks.
  • Make-ahead friendly — assemble and refrigerate before baking.
  • Use high-quality enchilada sauce for best results.
  • Leftovers make great nachos or taco fillings.
