Calories: 870kcal

Equipment

  • large skillet
  • baking dish

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 4 10" flour or gluten free soft tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese
  • 1 15 ounce can of refried beans
  • 1 15 ounce can of enchilada sauce
  • 1 avocado
  • sour cream optional

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients

  • Preheat your oven to 375F.
  • Brown the ground beef in a large skillet. Cook until all of the moisture has cooked out and the meat carmelizes. Add 1 cup of water and 1 packet of taco seasoning. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 20 minutes. The water will reduce completely, leaving you with a moist and tender meat mixture.
  • While the meat is cooking, heat up the refried beans in the microwave for 1 minute. They dont need to heat completely, but just enough to soften so they are easy to spread. Do the same with the tortillas. They are more pliable when warmed up.
  • Open the can of enchilada sauce and get out the shredded cheese.

Assemble the Enchiritos

  • Lay a warmed tortilla on a plate or cutting board.
  • Spread a layer of refried beans out for the base. Next, spoon on the cooked beef. Pour 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce onto the meat. Top with cheese. Roll the enchirito by tucking in the ends and rolling up completely. Assemble all 4 enchiritos.
  • In a baking dish, pour a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the dish. Lay each enchirito in the baking dish. Pour on a generous layer of sauce to coat each enchirito and top with cheese.
  • Bake the enchiritos uncovered for 20 minutes or until the cheese has melted completely and the sauce is bubbling.

Notes

If you're using a Site brand gluten free tortilla, it may break when folded. That's ok. It will still bake well and taste amazing. 
If you're using a regular soft tortilla, it will fold well and hold up its shape no problem.
