Who doesn’t love Enchirritos? Crazy-food-blogging-girl-say-what?!? Well it’s a cross between an enchilada and burrito. And so totally excellent. The second day leftovers are even better. I found them in a magazine and tried them out on my guinea pigs family. They liked them and so I was happy, because who likes to make something that only they like. Unless its a really great dessert, then I kinda like when no one else likes it. More for me *insert evil laughter*.
Enchirritos
Author: Mandy Bird
Ingredients
- ¼ c. butter
- ¼ c. flour
- 4 c. water
- 3 Tbsp. chili powder
- 1 tsp. garlic salt
- 1 lb. ground beef
- 1 lb. ground sausage (I used a bacon flavored kind once and it was fabulous)
- ¼ c. chopped onion
- 1 c. refried beans
- 8 flour tortillas (8 inch), warmed
- 3 c. shredded cheese (monteray jack or cheddar works great)
- Optional toppings: shredded lettuce, chopped tomatoes, sliced olives, sour cream
Directions
- In a large saucepan, melt butter. Stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add water. Bring to a boil; cook and stir one minute or until thickened. Stir in chili powder and garlic salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the beef, sausage, and onion until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in beans; heat through.
- Spread ¼ c. sauce in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Spread 1 Tbsp. sauce in the center of a tortilla and spread around. Place ⅔ c. (use measuring cup for this and it comes out perfect) meat mixture down the center of each tortilla. Top with ¼ c. shredded cheese.
- Pour remaining sauce over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
- Roll up and place seam side down in the baking dish.
- Bake uncovered at 350 for 18-22 minutes or until bubbly and cheese is melted. Serve with optional toppings, if desired.

This was really really good. Thanks for the easy recipe.
I love the enchirrito recipe! WOW that looks good! Glad I found this "recipe box"! Saw you referenced on "Mommy's Kitchen" site.
WOW I think I found my next Mexican Recipe!!! YUM!!
Big hit in my house tonight!! Thanks Mandy! I gave you a shout out on my site! It was awesome!
Made this and the whole family loved it. I think it will be much easier to make next time using canned red enchilada sauce (Hatch is my favorite.) I had a hard time getting the sauce to thicken but other than that it was easy and delicious. Definitely going to make this again, thanks for the recipe!
It’s one of my favorites. Glad you liked it!
