This homemade Taco Bell Enchirito recipe brings the nostalgic fast food favorite back to life in your own kitchen. A hearty flour tortilla filled with seasoned beef, refried beans, and onions, then smothered in red enchilada sauce and melty cheddar cheese—this classic is even better made from scratch.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning (or 2–3 tbsp homemade)

- Add taco seasoning and water. Simmer 3–5 minutes until thickened.
- Warm refried beans in a saucepan or microwave until spreadable.
- Assemble each enchirito: spread beans down center of tortilla, add beef and diced onions, then roll up burrito-style.
- Place seam-side down in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.

- Bake uncovered for 15–20 minutes, until hot and bubbly.
