Method
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion, breaking up the meat as it cooks, for 6-8 minutes until fully browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and 2 tablespoons of water. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the meat looks evenly coated.
- Heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over low heat or microwave for 60-90 seconds until warm and easily spreadable.
- Warm each flour tortilla in a dry skillet for 15 seconds per side, or wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to prevent cracking.
- Spread a generous layer of warm refried beans down the center of each tortilla, leaving about 1 inch on each end. Top with a quarter of the seasoned beef. Roll tightly, tucking in the ends, and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Whisk together the enchilada sauce and beef broth. Pour evenly over all four rolled enchiritos, covering the edges. Sprinkle shredded cheese across the top and scatter the black olives.
- Cover the baking dish with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 5 minutes, or broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
- Rest for 2 minutes before serving. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and sour cream if desired.
Notes
Shred cheese fresh from the block for a smoother melt. Covering with foil for the first 5 minutes steams the tortilla and keeps it tender while the sauce soaks in. Do not skip warming the tortillas - cold tortillas crack during rolling. Leftovers keep refrigerated up to 2 days; reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer at 350°F for best texture.
