🌯 The Enchirito That Grandma Asked For Twice

by

Sometimes, a dish is so comforting and delicious it leaves everyone asking for seconds—especially Grandma! This enchirito combines the hearty flavors of ground beef, refried beans, and zesty enchilada sauce, all wrapped in a warm tortilla and baked to bubbly perfection. Whether you’re feeding a hungry family or simply want to impress at your next potluck, this recipe hits the mark. Easy to make and full of classic Tex-Mex flavor, it’s no surprise this dish became an instant favorite. Grandma knew what she was doing when she asked for it again! With just a few pantry staples and 30 minutes in the oven, you’ll have a satisfying meal that’s cheesy, saucy, and deeply satisfying. Top it off with sour cream or chopped onions for that extra homemade flair.

🧂 Ingredients:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 can (16 oz) refried beans
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 6 large flour tortillas
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Optional toppings: chopped onions, black olives, sour cream

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

  1. Prep the filling:
    Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain excess fat.
  2. Season and mix:
    Add taco seasoning and water to the beef. Let it simmer for 2–3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir in the refried beans until everything is well combined and heated through.
  3. Roll the enchiritos:
    Lay tortillas flat and spoon the beef-bean mixture down the center of each one. Roll tightly like a burrito and place seam-side down in a lightly greased baking dish.
  4. Add sauce and cheese:
    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle generously with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
  5. Bake to perfection:
    Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is hot and bubbly.
  6. Serve and enjoy:
    Serve warm with extra enchilada sauce spooned over the top. Add chopped onions, olives, or a dollop of sour cream if you like!
