This is an enchilada made with a soft flour tortilla filled with a beef and bean mixture. The "enchirito" is a cross between an enchilada and a burrito.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground round
- 2 tablespoons onion (finely chopped)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 (16-ounce) can refried beans
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
- 2 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 (4-ounce) can sliced black olives
- 1 package flour tortillas (10-inch size)
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Brown the ground beef in a skillet with chopped onion, breaking up beef into small pieces until beef is no longer pink. Add the salt and chili powder.
-
Mash the refried beans until smooth. Heat beans in the microwave or a small saucepan.
-
Warm tortillas all at once in a covered container or wrapped in a moist towel in microwave. This will take 30 to 40 seconds on high setting. Alternatively, heat tortillas in a lightly oiled skillet for about 1 or 2 minutes per side.
-
Spoon 3 tablespoons of beef mixture into the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle about 1/2 teaspoon of dried minced onion over each. Top with 1/3 cup of the warm refried beans.
-
Fold sides of each tortilla over the beans and meet edges. Flip the tortilla over onto an oven-safe or microwave-safe plate.
-
Spoon 3 tablespoons enchilada sauce over top of the tortilla. Sprinkle on 1/4 cup shredded cheese, heat in microwave or under ​the broiler until cheese is melted, then top with 3 olive slices.
Glass Bakeware Warning
Do not use glass bakeware when broiling or when a recipe calls to add liquid to a hot pan, as glass may explode. Even if it states oven-safe or heat resistant, tempered glass products can, and do, break occasionally.
