🌯 Homemade Taco Bell Enchirito 🌶️

Craving that old-school Taco Bell favorite? 🔔 This Enchirito is the perfect combo of a burrito and an enchilada—packed with beef, beans, and smothered in sauce and cheese. 😋 Whether you’re bringing back nostalgia or just want something super tasty, this recipe hits the spot every time! 🙌

Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef

  • 1 packet taco seasoning

  • 1/2 cup water

  • 6 flour tortillas (6-8 inch size)

  • 1 can refried beans (warmed)

  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce

  • 1/2 cup chopped onions (optional, like the original)

  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

  • Black olives (optional topping)

🔥 Directions:

  • Cook the beef:
    In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain excess grease, then stir in taco seasoning and water. Simmer until thickened (about 5 minutes).

  • Warm the tortillas:
    Microwave them in a damp paper towel for about 20 seconds, or heat in a pan until pliable.

  • Assemble the enchiritos:

    • Spread a spoonful of refried beans down the center of each tortilla.

    • Add seasoned beef, some chopped onions (if using), and a sprinkle of cheese.

    • Roll them up like burritos.

  • Add sauce and cheese:

    • Place rolled tortillas in a baking dish.

    • Pour enchilada sauce over the top, then sprinkle with remaining cheese and more onions (optional).

  • Bake:
    Bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, until hot and melty.

  • Top and serve:
    Garnish with sliced black olives if desired. Serve with rice or chips and salsa!

📝 Note:
Want to make this extra authentic? Wrap each Enchirito individually in foil before baking, just like Taco Bell used to do back in the day! 🧡
Also great for meal prep—just assemble, refrigerate, and bake when you’re ready! 🙌
