The Enchirito That Grandma Asked For Twice

The Enchirito That Grandma Asked For Twice

This is a custom recipe for The Enchirito That Grandma Asked For Twice, a cherished family dish.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4-6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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, sliced black olives, sour cream

Instructions

  1. Brown the Beef: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no longer pink. Drain excess grease.
  2. Add Seasoning & Beans: Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Simmer for 2–3 minutes. Add the refried beans to the skillet and mix until well combined and heated through.
  3. Assemble the Enchiritos: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spoon about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the beef and bean mixture onto each flour tortilla. Roll up like a burrito and place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Add the Sauce & Cheese: Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle with cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
  5. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Top & Serve: Garnish with optional chopped onions, black olives, and sour cream if desired. Serve hot and savor every bite—just like Grandma did (twice!)
