Santiago's Calories in a Beef and Bean Deluxe

Enchilada Style Burritos is an easy to make and delicious meal where piping hot tortillas are stuffed with cheese, enchilada sauce, beans and rice, and served with delectable sides. Be sure to try this out if you love Mexican food recipes.

When I first came to United States, my husband and I used to frequently visit Mexican restaurants. The reason for this was, Mexican and Indian cuisines make of similar spices and herbs in their dishes, and as I was a vegetarian then it allowed me to try different items from the menu. I have tried to replicate the enchilada style burrito that I had as the very first

Mexican meal here in the U.S. This was served with pica de gallo, salsa, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. Yes, it is quite a heavy meal. A single enchilada burrito is filling on its own. So the sides are completely optional. I will share the recipes for each side soon.

I have used store bought red enchilada sauce for this recipe. Always taste the sauce and use it as desired. You can also substitute the rice and black beans in the recipe by one single black beans rice.
