Taco Bell Enchirito (Air Fryer Copycat)
Description
A copycat Taco Bell Enchirito made in the air fryer — seasoned beef and refried beans rolled in a flour tortilla, crisped, then smothered in red sauce, cheddar, and the black olives the original had.
Ingredients
For the filling
- 1 lb ground beef, 85/15
- 1 small white onion, diced (divided)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 16 oz refried beans
For assembly
- 6 large flour tortillas, 8-inch
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded (divided)
- 1½ cups red enchilada sauce
- 2.25 ounces black olives, sliced and drained
- Cooking spray
Optional toppings: sour cream, diced tomato, shredded lettuce
Instructions
- Brown the ground beef with half the diced onion and the garlic over medium heat, breaking it up finely. Drain the grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning, flour, salt, pepper, and water. Simmer 3–4 minutes until thickened. Set aside.
- Warm the refried beans until smooth and spreadable.
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 3–5 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas 15 seconds. Spread 3 tablespoons of beans down the center of each, top with beef, a pinch of onion, and 1 tablespoon of cheese. Roll burrito-style with both ends tucked in.
- Spray the outsides with cooking spray. Place seam side down in a single layer in the basket. Air fry 5–7 minutes at 350°F, flipping once halfway, until golden.
- Transfer to a plate. Spoon enchilada sauce over the top and cover with the remaining cheese.
- Return to the air fryer 1–2 minutes until the cheese melts.
- Top with the remaining diced onion and the sliced black olives. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Do not sauce before air frying — the tortillas will steam instead of crisping.
- Freeze unsauced after a 4-minute air fry; sauce fresh on reheating.
- For the oven: 400°F for 12 minutes, sauce and cheese, then 8–10 minutes more.
