1. Knock off Taco Bell enchritos & lime fizzy water

Home made taco seasoning mix
I've been making this so long I do not recall source.

2 generous tablespoons to 1 # of ground meat. I have NOT tried this with plant based substitutes yet

1 tablespoon chili powder
▢1 teaspoon ground cumin
▢1 teaspoon garlic powder & onion powder
▢½ teaspoon paprika (or smoked paprika)- smoked is much better
▢½ teaspoon oregano
▢½ teaspoon kosher salt- I don't use this b/c of BP issues
▢¼ teaspoon black pepper
1/4cayenne pepper if you like.
This is 1# of taco seasoning. I make a triple batch & store it in 3 zip locks.

While the onions & ground meat cook, microwave the flour tortillas under a damp papertowel.

Take one flour tortilla and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans down the middle. Top beans with a ¼ cup of ground beef. Top beef with diced raw onions [yes more onions]. Roll tortilla. Repeat until all tortillas are filled.
Place rolled tortillas seam down on lightly greased 9x13 baking dish.
Cover tortillas with red enchilada sauce.-green sauce works too
Finely shred cheddar cheese.
Top enchiritos with cheese.
Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 15 minutes.
Allow your enchiritos to rest for 5 minutes. Top with sliced black olives and serve.
