Delicious this enchirito recipe is the comfort food you’ve been craving recipe with detailed instructions and nutritional information.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • Ground beef: 1 pound
  • Onion, chopped: 1 medium
  • Enchilada sauce: 28 ounces
  • Corn tortillas: 8
  • Cheddar cheese, shredded: 2 cups
  • Refried beans: 1 (16-ounce) can
  • Olive oil: 1 tablespoon
  • Taco seasoning: 1 packet

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add ground beef and onion and cook until beef is browned and onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  2. Step 2: Stir in taco seasoning and 1 cup of enchilada sauce into the beef mixture. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Step 3: Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Warm the tortillas slightly (microwave for 20 seconds wrapped in a damp paper towel works).
  4. Step 4: Spread a thin layer of refried beans onto each tortilla. Spoon the beef mixture into the center of each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Step 5: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For best results, reheat individual enchiladas in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
  • Serve your enchiladas with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for added flavor and freshness.
  • To prevent soggy tortillas, briefly pan-fry them in a dry skillet before filling to give them a sturdier base.
