ENCHIRITOS



Enchiritos image

Recipe I got from a Taco Bell dinner and now do from scratch. Much like enchiladas and very good. The recipe calls for ground beef, but I've used canned chicken, and also calls for cheddar cheese, but any cheese you prefer can be used. I've also started using diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, cilantro, and jalapenos to top it with.

Time 10m

Yield 8 single tortillas servings, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb ground beef
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 cup water
8 flour tortillas
1 (14 ounce) can refried beans
1 (14 ounce) can enchilada sauce
shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Brown the ground beef and drain off the fat. If using chicken, just throw the taco seasoning with the chicken into a skillet. Follow the taco seasoning directions for the rest of this preparation.
  • Warm the tortillas in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, for 1 minute.
  • Open the can of beans and place 1 tablespoon (or more, if desired) down the middle of the tortilla. Spoon 2 tablespoons (or more, if desired) of the beef or chicken on top of the beans. Roll the tortilla up, the beans and protein lengthwise, leaving both ends open. Continue until all tortillas are used.
  • Place rolled tortillas in a 13"x9" baking dish. I usually place the "seam" side down. Open the enchilada sauce and pour oven the rolled tortillas and top with as much cheese as desired. Place in the oven for approximately 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Top with any garnishes desired.

CHICKEN ENCHIRITOS

I don't care for corn tortillas, but LOVE flour tortillas! I wanted to make enchiladas, but as I was preparing them, this is what evolved. Absolutely one of the best Mexican-style dishes I've made! I used Goya Ranchero refried beans and Goya spicy tomato sauce with chiles.

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 enchiritos, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves or 2 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 cups chicken stock
1 small green pepper, diced
1 onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons oil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
8 ounces Mexican tomato sauce
14 ounces stewed tomatoes, broken up
10 ounces red enchilada sauce
4 ounces diced green chilies
8 flour tortillas, 10-inch size
16 ounces spicy refried beans
4 cups Mexican blend cheese, shredded

Steps:

  • Poach chicken breasts in stock just until no longer pink. Remove, cool and shred with 2 forks.
  • Make sauce: Saute onions, peppers and garlic in oil just until soft. Add oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Add tomato sauce, stewed tomatoes, red enchilada sauce and green chiles.
  • Spread enough sauce to cover the bottom of a 9" by 15" glass baking dish.
  • Microwave 2 tortillas at a time for 15 seconds and assemble before microwaving the next 2.
  • Assemble enchiritos: Spread center of a tortilla with about 2 T. beans, add about 3 T. shredded chicken and top with about 1/3 cup cheese. Roll up burrito-style, tucking in sides and place seam-side down in baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used. You will have to keep assessing amounts as you go to divide evenly.
  • Pour the rest of the sauce over enchiritos and top with the rest of the cheese.
  • Bake at 350°F for 1 hour, or until bubbly and cheese is beginning to brown.

These are so quick and easy and they are absolutely delicious. A real family favorite. Whenever I make tacos, I also make these, so everyone can have one of each (or more :) These reheat really good, too. You can also bake these in the oven at 350° for about 15-20 minutes.
