This Encharitos dish is so easy and good. I serve with Spanish rice and guacamole.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Make enchiritos at home when you can't run out and grab them from the popular Tex-Mex fast food shop. They're bean and beef burritos with onions smothered in enchilada sauce. The burrito is packed with ground beef and refried beans and baked in enchilada sauce. This is a quick and easy dish that everyone will love. It's a great meal for the family after a long day. Yummy cheesy goodness!

Ingredients For encharitos

  • 1 Tbsp
    oil
  • 1/2 c
    chopped onion
  • 2 clove
    garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 lb
    ground beef
  • 2 tsp
    ground cumin
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 can
    refried beans (16 oz)
  • 6-8
    flour tortillas (not the big burrito size)
  • 2 can
    red enchilada sauce (10 oz each)
  • 2 c
    grated cheddar cheese
  • sliced black olives, optional
  • chopped onion, optional

How To Make encharitos

  • Saute onions and garlic.
    1
    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Add oil to skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic. Stir for a few minutes until the onion becomes translucent.
  • Add ground beef and seasonings. Brown the meat.
    2
    Add ground beef, cumin, salt, and pepper. Break up with a spoon and continue to do so and stir until all meat is browned. Then taste for seasoning.
  • Stir in refried beans and cool.
    3
    Add refried beans and mix to combine. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add 3 - 4 Tbsp of the mixture to a tortilla.
    4
    Lay one tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon 3-4 Tbsp of the mixture and spread over the tortilla. Leave a quarter inch of space around the edge.
  • Roll up and place seam side down in a baking dish.
    5
    Add a little bit of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the baking dish. Roll up the tortilla and place it in a greased 9" x 13" baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Leave a little space between the rolls if you can. The number of rolls will depend on how much filling you use in each. The leftover meat mixture can be refrigerated and is great for nachos.
  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas.
    6
    Pour enchilada sauce over the rolls and cover the rolls completely with sauce.
  • Sprinkle cheese. Add black olives and/or onions.
    7
    Sprinkle on grated cheese. Top with olives and/or onions, if desired.
  • Bake for 20 - 30 minutes.
    8
    Bake at 350 degrees F, uncovered, for 20-30 minutes. It's done when the cheese is melted and the sauce bubbles around the sides.
