My dear friend is the store manager for our local Taco Bell. She knew hiow much I always loved my enchirita, so she gave me the recipe for them. Your video hits the mark!
I worked at Taco Bell in 1974 before sour cream or tomatoe ingredients. The original Enchirito was made with corn tortillas, only ground beef, onions, red sauce, cheddar cheese and 3 black olives. I loved them and could never understand why they discontinued them.
Yes, I don't remember there being refried beans on the original Enchirito that we loved, only the ingredients you mentioned I can't remember whether it was corn or flour shell, we usually prefer the more flavorful corn tortillas..
I ate at Taco Bell around that time and I dont recall them being made with corn tortillas. Maybe I tried the first one after their first change. Seems to always have had beans as I can remember. I also remember a Taco Bell Burger and it was on a regular burger bun and quite good.
I got 3 olive slices back in the late '70's, they had RAW onions on top of the Beef and Beans and were served in small tray with Sauce. They were $.99 each. Mom and Dad would go out to Dinner on Friday Night, and I had a High School Job and I paid my Room and Board and Dad gave me the Keys to "Moms" '66 Mustang, so a quick stop for a $2.98 Dinner, then drove over to pick up my buddies.... in a '66 Mustang. Yup life was good.
Hi Catherine! I made these for dinner yesterday & everybody enjoyed them & wants more of them in the future. I added chopped Cilantro after the meat & onions were 1/2 cooked. I wanted mine baked. I covered them with Enchilada sauce & cheese and baked them at 350 Degrees F. for 15 mins. covered & 15 mins. uncovered & sprinkled Cilantro on top. With a little over 2 pounds of ground beef, mine made 13 fully loaded Enchiritos. Thanks🙏🏻 so much.
Oh my goodness you guys this looks so fanflipintastic 👍🤗💜 we love it!thanks lovebirds!!! always great seeing you guys cooking together.have a wonderful day family 💕🥰😘❤️
This is so cool. I want to make this. I don't understand why Taco Bell brought back the Enchirito for A LIMITED TIME. They should keep it on the menu permanently.
I like the crunch of raw onions. On our burrito night all the ingredients were shredded, or sliced , or diced and put in separate bowls for everyone to pick their own ingredients...green taco sauce and sour cream to finish it off. The kids loved to create their own !
LOVE IT! I worked at a Taco Bell in high school, late 70's. My favorite thing on the menu? Enchirito! Was not happy when it went away. Now I don't care I'll make my own! THANK YOU!
I love them too.They use to make them with the corn tortillas and put three down the center I remember lol I'm with you Thomas I love them either way and yes need alot of black olivesThank you Catherine🌹
Billie, I am glad you mention that the encherito was made with corn tortillas... I would tell everyone about it and they woudn't believe me. SEE... we have a good memory. God bless and take care. :-)
@@n.b.925 The Enchirito was never made with corn tortillas. It was made with specially colored yellow flour tortillas to give the impression of corn tortillas. The only corn tortillas Taco Bell used at that time were the ones fried for taco and tostada shells.
Tried a couple of the Enchiritos they brought back in November. Totally different flavor than the original, and didn't really care for it. Definitely will try your recipe at home.
Thanks so much for your video today. I was one of your followers who asked for your take on the recipe and was pleasantly surprised this morning when you and your husband made my favorite Taco Bell Enchirito. Can't wait to try it -- looks yummy!
The Enchirito was my favorite and I missed it when they took it off the menu. On this, I would use beef, ground chicken or bison they all sound good. Thanks again Catherine for another winner.
@@recoveringsoul755 Right?! Me too and they never said anything, but if they did I didn’t understand them! Oh well always got something that all tastes the same 😉☺️
@@debbiegradowski9885 I would say "Its not on your menu up there, but can you still make an enchirito?" And they did. My favorite was Enchirito and a Mexican Pizza. Both require sitting down to eat though.
I’m planning to make these fo a few friends as a Mexican day!! I’m going to ✅ out the rest of your Mexican recipes to make along with these!! Love Thomas’ reaction & comments!!
The enchirito is made with red sauce at Taco Bell tastes different then the old elpaso sauce worked at Taco Bell for 13 years the beans have no seasoning in them the hamburger does though and they don’t use olives anymore but this is a nice recipe I tried it and it tasted pretty good I just pu the sour cream on the top of the enchilada but thanks for the recipe
Taco Bell made a huge mistake in getting rid of the Enchirito.....so disappointing.....but, Catherine, thank you so much for the recipe. I'm so excited....going to buy the goods to make my own! For those of you who are wondering, we all grew up eating Enchiritos from Taco Bell. Hey Catherine, how about the Bell-Beefer? That would be fun to make!
I love enchritos. They had them here for a short time where I live. One thing I miss is the bell beefer. They should bring that back like McDonald's brings back the Mcrib..
This looks incredibly amazing! I went to Taco Bell last weekend, got one of theirs and was incredibly disappointed. I don't go to Taco Bell or have Mexican food very often for health reasons. I might try this some time. Thank you Catherine and Thomas for this amazing video recipe!
Well done! I am sure everyone will love these. I'm all about garnishes and loved the olives, cilantro. I think when I make them, will add chopped green onions and fresh tomato over the top as well. I have always loved Taco Bell, but the portions have gotten smaller, the prices dramatically higher. Pretty sad when Taco Bell is not affordable. I have watched your videos, but broke my arm on the 9th and holy pain! Not convenient when you run a small farm. That is why I have not commented. Take good care and thanks for your wonderful videos.
The first time I ever ate one was in the 70s. We had a Taco Torch in town, and I was in love. I make them all the time. Very easy to do, I add lettuce and tomatoes too
The Enchirito is my FAVORITE Taco Bell item!!! I hate that they took it off the menu! I guess they brought it back but I got the notice on the 29th saying it was just til the 30th! I didn’t get a chance to go. They used to put olives on it-my favorite and now there is no olives on anything! I will definitely try your recipe!
I made this tonight and it was delicious. Encheritos were my staple at taco bell. Now that I know how to make the basic ingredients I too could now make all things taco bell. Thanks!
A tip to get stuff like beans out of a can, open the top, flip the can and puncture the bottom with a sharp knife tip and blow in the hole. Works great on chili too!
Oh my goodness, I'm so going to make these, Enchiritos were always my favorite at Taco Bell, they are on my menu now for this week. Thanks Catherine and Thomas.

Catherine’s look delicious but do you happen to know the brand of Enchilada sauce Taco Bell uses?
@@LauraGarcia-ub9xp
They sell it in bottles on Amazon.
@@b_uppy what brand do you know?
@@LauraGarcia-ub9xp
TACO BELL taco sauce...
@@b_uppy oh ok yeah I’ve had their taco sauce I was curious about the enchilada sauce they used over the enchirito.
Enchilada + Burrito = Enchirito. I never made that connection before. Thanks for the recipe. I used to love those things.

@@glennarnold4108 I loved the Bell burger too!
@@LuvsSno I was wondering if they could be made with corn tortillas, so they will be less soggy. Thanks for sharing!
"3 black olives"😂😂 (Love that)

Wonderful! I'm glad y'all like them.
I love your cooking show and the recipes you share Catherine!! 😍❤
Enchiritos were the best!. When they discontinued them I left and have never been back. I'll try this tomorrow...so yummy.
I'm been making mine at home for several years. But I am going to season my refried beans like you did!
Oh my goodness you guys this looks so fanflipintastic 👍🤗💜 we love it!thanks lovebirds!!! always great seeing you guys cooking together.have a wonderful day family 💕🥰😘❤️
This is so cool. I want to make this. I don't understand why Taco Bell brought back the Enchirito for A LIMITED TIME. They should keep it on the menu permanently.
It's my favorite Taco Bell item!!❤
Because those in charge at Taco Bell are stupid.
It doesn’t make enough profit for them just like the chili cheese burrito. Another of my favorites.
I like the crunch of raw onions. On our burrito night all the ingredients were shredded, or sliced , or diced and put in separate bowls for everyone to pick their own ingredients...green taco sauce and sour cream to finish it off. The kids loved to create their own !

Hi Catherine and Thomas enjoy looks so good. My husband favorite taco bell mexican pizza. Mine is chalupa
Tried a couple of the Enchiritos they brought back in November. Totally different flavor than the original, and didn't really care for it. Definitely will try your recipe at home.
Y'all are so cute in your kitchen helping each other..I enjoyed this cooking video thank you 😊
You're welcome.
I made one tonight, don’t have meat, tastes good with just beans. Plus I always mix salsa and sour cream to use for tortilla chips, tacos or burritos.
That really looks good I'm definitely going to have to try that you take care and God bless
I love the Enchirito. I always got that, 2 bean burrito's and a Mexican Pizza. Since they took it off the menu I haven't gone back to Taco Bell.
Catherine, I look forward to making this for my family, Thanks
That looks good. I don't eat sour cream or olives, but they're easily left out. I think I have everything here to make some today.
I use to get 3 olives on my Enchirito lol good memories and I think it's great you are doing these recipes
Thanks.
I’m with Thomas! It made me sad when Taco Bell quit making the enchirito. It was my favorite! I’m going to make this soon.
Good morning Catherine and Thomas always enjoy seeing the two of you another great recipe ❤️
Loved how Thomas kept a eye on that plate ….he was making sure you weren’t going anywhere with it😂
LOL, that's true.
Thanks so much for your video today. I was one of your followers who asked for your take on the recipe and was pleasantly surprised this morning when you and your husband made my favorite Taco Bell Enchirito. Can't wait to try it -- looks yummy!
Enjoy!
Thomas, my husband feels exactly the same about the Enchirito!! Plus Taco Bell sells their refried beans in grocery stores!
I just had an Enchirito from Taco Bell yesterday. Yours looks like a true winner! A few green onions on top would make me even happier! Yum!
Hi! Where do you live that you got an enchirito yesterday? Thank you!
@@juliesparrow2017 - San Diego
That one youtuber had one of those enchirito and it looked like it came from a diaper it was terrible..
@@gaylenewood7707 - lol!

Thank you for creating and sharing this recipe.

I made this for dinner tonight after watching your recipe yesterday. Tasted so good! I wish Taco Bell would put this one back on the menu!
Just love seeing Thomas, he looks like he is in hog heaven. Thanks to you both.Happy Sunday.

And they put onions on the inside and steam it in the pizza steamer.
Back in the day the Enchirito was one of my favs. Glad they brought it back. I did not know you could now get one.
I had fun making crunch wraps for a friend and I.
Anything homemade is better than fast food restaurants... great video
I can't wait to try this! This was my absolute favorite #1 from Taco Bell.
Oh my goodness, I love them.
I was upset that Taco bell stopped making them too. Thank you so very much for sharing this delicious recipe.
I loved the enchirito so much. Thanks.
One of my favorites..Thanks for the recipe!!..
Thank you guys, love love your videos. You guys make cooking FUN! Looking forward to your next videos.

TWICE!
That was one of my favorite menu items.
Looked good! That was one of my favs from Taco Bell. And Thomas not wanting to wait made my day!! LOL Thank you, Catherine! Happy Thanksgiving!!
What’s best is that you can pack it with ingredients, and still at a way cheaper price!
I also don't know I missed your TB Mexican pizza video re-do, but I'm watching that next! 😄👍
Well thank you. The enchirito was my favorite thing at Taco Bell and they quit making it. Can't wait to give this a try.

Looking forward to making this!
Add on the olives!!
I love enchritos. They had them here for a short time where I live. One thing I miss is the bell beefer. They should bring that back like McDonald's brings back the Mcrib..

My favorite menu item! I remember eating it with a cold Pepsi(in the stained glass tumbler, remember them?). Thanks for sharing.
My husband remembers the tumblers.

It's tast better when u can make it at home !! Delicious 😋 😋
Catherine nd Tom, you are quite a couple that really cooks! Love Mexican food, this looks awesome!
Thanks so much
That was my favorite too. I remember they had stopped putting olives on it...a big mistake!

TY ! I loved the Enchiroto from TB !
I made this tonight and it was delicious. Encheritos were my staple at taco bell. Now that I know how to make the basic ingredients I too could now make all things taco bell. Thanks!
Tip! To get refried beans out the can easy, on the bottom of the can make a hole with an ice pick. Open top side with can opener. Pour out with ease.
I can’t wait to make this
