Taco Bell's Enchirito (Copycat Recipe)

This Enchirito copycat recipe captures the essence of the beloved Taco Bell classic, featuring a soft flour tortilla filled with seasoned ground beef, refried beans, and melted cheese, all topped with a rich enchilada sauce. The combination of flavors and textures makes it a comforting and satisfying dish, perfect for a family dinner or a casual gathering.

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 can (15 oz) refried beans
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup enchilada sauce
• 8 large flour tortillas
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Sour cream (for serving, optional)
• Chopped green onions (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is translucent. Drain excess fat.
2. Add garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
3. In a separate pot, warm the refried beans over low heat until heated through.
4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
5. To assemble the Enchiritos, lay a flour tortilla flat and spread a layer of refried beans down the center. Add a portion of the beef mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese.
6. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
7. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Serve with sour cream and garnish with chopped green onions if desired.
