Lazy Enchilada Ingredients
Frozen Taquitos: My family loves shredded beef taquitos, but any frozen taquito flavor works!
Refried Beans: Pick your favorite canned refried beans! Refried black beans are a great alternative. You could also leave the beans out.
Enchilada Sauce: Use red or green enchilada sauce! I prefer green with chicken taquitos and red with beef.
How to Make Lazy Enchiladas
Dinner doesn’t get much easier than this! Just layer, pour, sprinkle, and pop them in the oven for a quick, cheesy meal the whole family will devour. Make some homemade guacamole and Mexican rice to serve on the side for a complete meal.
Spread Refried Beans: Preheat the oven to 400°F, then spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Spread the refried beans evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Add Taquitos: Arrange the taquitos in a single layer on top of the bean layer.
Pour Sauce: Pour the enchilada sauce on top of the taquitos, making sure to cover them completely.
Bake and Melt Cheese: Bake in the oven for 15 minutes, then remove and top with shredded cheese. Return the pan to the oven and bake for 5 additional minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve lazy enchiladas with toppings of your choice.
Alyssa’s Pro Tip
Refried Beans: Stir the canned beans to loosen them. For easier spreading, microwave for about 20 seconds, then stir until smooth and spread into the baking dish.
