- Prep Time: 5 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 20 minutes
- Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 taco seasoning packet
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 can 14oz refried beans
- 1 15 oz red enchilada sauce mild
- 8 soft tortillas burrito size
- 3 cups cheddar cheese
- black olives sliced (about 5 or more per enchirito), for garnishment
Instructions
-
Heat a large pan over medium heat. Add the meat to the hot pan along with the diced onions. Break the larger pieces of meat up as it cooks and finishes browning. Drain the fat. Return the pot back to the heat source and season the beef with the taco seasoning packet. Add the water and let simmer for 5 minutes.
-
Heat the refried beans in either the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop.
-
Warm the tortilla in the microwave by placing four tortillas on a microwave-safe plate and setting a damp paper towel on top. Microwave for 45 seconds. Repeat for the next set of soft tortillas. (If you don’t want to use the microwave, see note section below for the directions to use the oven)
-
Spread out the tortilla by working in batches. Spoon 3 tablespoons of refried beans into the center of each tortilla. Add 3 tablespoons of taco-seasoned beef over the refried beans. Then, add about 1-2 teaspoons of red enchilada sauce.
-
Fold up the burrito and place it on a plate. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of red enchiladas sauce over each wrapped burrito. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the burrito. Warm in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and top each enchirito with sliced black olives.
Recipe Notes
PRO TIP: If you don’t want to heat the burritos in a microwave, you can use the oven. Preheat the oven to 350. Place the burritos in a casserole dish. Top with the enchilada sauce and cheese. Bake uncovered for about 10 minutes for the Enchirito to warm up and the cheese to melt.
