Ingredients
Beef
- 1 1/2 tablespoons masa harina
- 4 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon beef bouillon powder
- 1 1/3 pounds ground chuck
Sauce
- 8 ounces tomato sauce
- 1/3 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced onion
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Assembly
- 4 tortillas
- 1 cup refried beans, heated
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped white onions
- Sliced black olives (optional)
Instructions
-
In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the beef, except for the beef itself, and mix well.
-
Crumble the ground chuck into a large skillet (preferably nonstick) and brown, stirring well. Remove from the heat and drain the grease from the beef.
-
Return the beef to the pan and stir in the spice mix and 3/4 to 1 cup of water. Simmer uncovered on medium-low heat for 20 minutes, until most of the moisture has cooked away. Remove the pan from the heat before the meat is completely dry.
-
To make the sauce, combine all the ingredients for the sauce in a saucepan and mix well. Simmer at a very low temperature for 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool.
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
-
To assemble the Enchirito, spread 1/4 of the heated refried beans onto a tortilla, followed by 1/4 of the ground beef. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-side down in an ovenproof dish coated with non-stick spray. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cover with the prepared sauce, cheese, chopped onions, and black olives, if desired.
-
Place the Enchiritos in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Notes
-
Customize Your Veggies: Feel free to get creative with your vegetable choices. You can add or substitute with ingredients like bell peppers, carrots, broccoli, or snow peas for added color, flavor, and nutrition.
-
Adjust Spice Level: If you like it spicier, you can increase the chili powder or add a dash of hot sauce for an extra kick. Adjust the spiciness to suit your taste.
-
Make It Vegetarian or Vegan: For a vegetarian or vegan version, skip the meat and use tofu, tempeh, or a plant-based protein of your choice. Ensure you’re using vegan-friendly ingredients for the sauce and noodles.
-
Meal Prep Tip: Yakisoba is a great option for meal prep. You can make a large batch and store it in the refrigerator for a quick and delicious lunch or dinner throughout the week. Just reheat and enjoy!
-
Garnish Creatively: Don’t hesitate to garnish your Yakisoba with additional toppings like sesame seeds, sliced green onions, or a drizzle of sriracha sauce for extra flavor and presentation.
-
Leftovers: Yakisoba leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated easily. A quick spin in the microwave with a splash of water can refresh your meal.
