For the Filling:

✔ 1 lb ground beef (450 g)
✔ 1 packet taco seasoning (1 oz)
✔ ½ cup water
✔ 1 cup refried beans (store-bought or homemade)

For the Sauce:

✔ 1 can red enchilada sauce (10 oz)
✔ 1 tsp chili powder
✔ ½ tsp garlic powder
✔ ¼ tsp onion powder
✔ ½ tsp cumin

For Assembly:

✔ 4 large flour tortillas
✔ 1 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
✔ Sliced black olives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Sauce

In a small saucepan, combine enchilada sauce, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, and cumin.
Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally. Keep warm while preparing the filling.

2️⃣ Cook the Ground Beef

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned.
Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat.

3️⃣ Heat the Beans

Warm the refried beans in a small pot or microwave until spreadable.

4️⃣ Assemble the Enchiritos

Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spread about 2–3 tbsp of refried beans down the center.
Add 2–3 tbsp of seasoned beef over the beans.
Sprinkle a small amount of shredded cheese on top.

5️⃣ Roll and Place

Roll the tortilla tightly like a burrito, tucking in the sides.
Place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

6️⃣ Add Sauce and Cheese

Pour the warm enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.

7️⃣ Bake

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

8️⃣ Garnish and Serve

Top with sliced black olives if desired.
Serve hot with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
