TACO BELL ENCHIRITO - COPYCAT RECIPE

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients except the meat. Stir the spice mix well to make sure that all spices have been blended well. Crumble the ground beef into a large skillet (preferably nonstick) and brown, stirring well. Remove from the heat. Dump the meat into a strainer in the sink, rinse with hot water, and drain the water and grease from the beef. Return the beef to the pan. Stir in the spice mix and 3/4 to 1 cup water. Simmer on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until most of the moisture has cooked away. Remove from heat before the meat is completely dry.
• Place in saucepan and stir well, simmer at a very low temperature for 15 - 20 minutes. Remove and cool.
• To assemble the enchirito spread 1/4 of the heated refried beans into the tortilla. Add ground beef to the tortilla. Roll the tortilla, and place seam side down in an ovenproof dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cover with enchiritos with sauce, cheese, and chopped onions. Add slices of black olives if desired.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Spray a 9 x 13-inch with non-stick spray. Place assembled enchiritos into the pan. Top with remaining sauce and shredded cheese. Place in the oven for about 15 minutes or until the cheese melts.
