Enchilada Beef Burrito Skillet 4/4/2022

We would wat this again- I would get lettuce so we could make it a taco salad and maybe make a little bit of rice. But overall a great meal.

Inspired by: Pillsbury 20 Minute Smothered Beef Burrito Skillet

1 lb ground beef 

1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning mix 

1/2 cup water 

1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce 

1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained, rinsed ** I pureed a can of white beans 

6 flour tortillas for soft tacos and fajitas (6 inch), cut in 1-inch strips 

1 cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (4 oz)  *I just use whatever is here

In 10-inch skillet, cook beef over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink; drain. 

Add taco seasoning mix, water, enchilada sauce and beans. Cook 3 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until sauce thickens. Remove from heat. 

Stir in tortilla strips; top with cheese. Cover skillet; set aside 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese is melted.
