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

1 tablespoon oil
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ground beef
2 teaspoons ground cumin
- salt and pepper, to taste
1 can refried beans (16 oz)
6-8 - flour tortillas (not the big burrito size)
2 cans red enchilada sauce (10 oz each)
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- sliced black olives, optional
chopped onion, optional

How To Make encharitos

Step 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.

Step 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.
Step 3

Add refried beans and mix to combine. Let mixture cool for 10 minutes.
Step 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.
Step 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.
Step 6

Pour enchilada sauce over the rolls and cover the rolls completely with sauce.
Step 7

Sprinkle on grated cheese. Top with olives and/or onions, if desired.
Step 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.
