Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground beef
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Chili powder
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dried minced onion
  • 1 can Refried beans, 30 oz.
  • 1/4 Onion, diced
  • 1 can La Victoria enchilada sauce
  • 2 1/2 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can Sliced black olives (2 oz.)
  • 1 package Flour tortillas (10 or 12")
Directions
  1. 1
    Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat, breaking it into small crumbles with a wooden spoon or spatula until fully cooked.
  2. 2
    Stir in the salt, chili powder, and dried minced onion. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  3. 3
    In a separate small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, heat the refried beans until warm and smooth. Mash if necessary to remove any lumps.
  4. 4
    Warm the flour tortillas by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and microwaving for 40 seconds, or warming them individually in a dry skillet for 2-3 minutes per side.
  5. 5
    Lay a tortilla flat. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the seasoned beef into the center.
  6. 6
    Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of diced fresh onion over the beef.
  7. 7
    Add 1/3 cup of the warm refried beans over the beef and onion.
  8. 8
    Fold the sides of the tortilla inward over the filling, then roll the tortilla up from the bottom to enclose the ingredients.
  9. 9
    Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down on a serving plate.
  10. 10
    Spoon 3 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortilla.
  11. 11
    Sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese and top with sliced black olives.

Note

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes until warm.

Substitutions: You can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef for a lighter option. Corn tortillas can be used instead of flour, but they may be more prone to breaking when rolling.

Tips: For extra flavor, add a dash of cumin or garlic powder to the beef mixture. If you prefer a spicier dish, add diced jalapeos or hot sauce.

Assembly: Ensure the filling is not too hot when rolling to prevent the tortilla from becoming soggy or breaking.
