Since Taco Bell brought the
Enchirito back from the dead a couple years ago the product's formula
has changed a bit. With the exclusion of the sliced black olives on top,
plus a few other minor changes, this
recipe represents our version of the "new" formulation of the
chain's enchilada/burrito fusion product first introduced in the early
60's. The technique for preparation has also been improved from the
recipe found in the first Top Secret Recipes book and published
here on the Web site. So, until Taco Bell changes it again, this is the
ultimate clone that makes enough for an entire family of Enchirito
lovers.
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried minced onion
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
dash garlic powder
1/2 cup water
1 16-ounce can refried beans
10 to 12 small flour tortillas (fajita size)
1/4 onion, diced (about 1/2 cup)
1 10-ounce can La Victoria red chile sauce
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1. In a medium bowl, combine
the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt,
minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.
Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the
ground beef.
2. Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a
skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or
spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should
be very smooth with no large chunks of
beef remaining.
3. Heat up the refried beans in a medium sauce pan over
medium heat, or in the microwave for a couple of minutes
on high.
4. Warm the tortillas in a steamer, or wrap them in a
moist towel and microwave for 1 minute on high. You may
also heat up the tortillas individually by placing them
in a hot pan over medium heat for about 15 seconds per
side.
5. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of refried beans down the center of
each tortilla. Spoon 3 tablespoons of beef on top of the beans followed
by a couple teaspoons of minced onion.
6. Fold the two sides of the tortilla over the beans and meat and flip the
tortilla over onto a plate.
7. Spoon a couple tablespoons of red sauce over the top of
the tortilla, then sprinkle on a couple tablespoons of the shredded
cheddar cheese.
8. Heat up the dish for 30 to 45 seconds in the microwave, or until the cheese
on top begins to melt. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
