This recipe was given to me by my favorite SIL and it is so good. In fact Taco Bell has Enchiritos back on their menu and I had one today to compare. These are even better. My son remembers eating these at Taco Bell in the 70's.

Taco Bell Enchirito, improved Copycat/Clone
1 pound ground beef
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 T. chili powder
1 t. salt
1/2 t. dried minced onion
1/2 t. paprika
1/4 t. onion powder
dash garlic powder
1/2 cup water
16 oz. can refried beans
10-12 small flour tortillas (fajita size)
1/4 onion, diced (about l/2 cup)
Can Enchilada Sauce (I think they have hot -- I use red Mild)
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Sliced black olives

In medium bowl, combine the ground beef with the flour, chili powder, salt, minced onion, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Use your hands to thoroughly mix the ingredients into the ground beef.

Add the seasoned beef mixture to the water in a skillet over medium heat. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula, and break up the meat as it cooks. Heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until browned. The finished product should be very smooth with no large chunks of beef remaining.
Heat up the refried beans in a medium sauce pan over medium heat, or in the microwave for a couple of minutes on high.

Warm the tortillas in a steamer, or wrap them in a moist towel and microwave for one minute on high. You may also heat up the tortillas individually by placing them in a hot pan over medium heat for about 15 seconds per side.

Spoon about 3 T. of refried beans down the center of each tortilla. Spoon 3 T. of beef on top of the beans followed by a couple teaspoons of minced onion.

Fold the two sides of the tortilla over the beans and meat and flip the tortilla over onto a plate.
Spoon a couple tablespoons of red sauce over the top of the tortilla, then sprinkle on a couple tablespoons of the shredded cheddar cheese. Add sliced black olives on top.
Heat up the dish for 30-45 seconds in the microwave, or until the cheese on top begins to melt. Repeat with the remaining..
