Instructions
- Cook the Beef
In a skillet, cook the ground beef and chopped onion over medium heat until the beef is browned and fully cooked.
Drain any excess fat from the skillet. - Add Sauce
Stir in half of the enchilada sauce into the beef mixture.
Heat it through, allowing the flavors to meld. - Assemble the Tortillas
Lay each flour tortilla flat on a clean surface.
Spoon the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla.
Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream to each tortilla.
Roll each tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in a greased baking dish. - Top & Bake
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top. - Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Bake the dish for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden. - Garnish & Serve
Remove from the oven and top with sliced green onions and black olives (optional).
Serve warm and enjoy the nostalgic flavors of the classic Enchirito.
