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.

Prepare the dough for tortillas and keep it aside for 30 minutes. You can also use store bough tortillas.
-
In a pan, add butter or oil. Add raw rice and saute till it develops some color, about 3 to 4 minutes on medium heat. This step will impart a nutty flavor to the cooked rice.
-
Now add in the green chillis, cilantro and mix. Add the water as per package instructions (for rice) and cook the rice.
-
Add in the lemon juice and mix. Keep this aside.
-
Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp of butter or oil in pan. Add onion, pinch of salt and saute till it becomes translucent.
-
Add in the black beans and red chilli powder. drizzle water and saute it for 2 to 3 minutes.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F and then put it on broil mode.
-
Divide the tortillas dough into two equal parts. Using a rolling pin, roll them as big as the size of your non-stick pan / tava / griddle. If using store bought tortillas, its alaways good to heat it once on griddle.
-
Cook the tortilla on one side or until underside develops light golden color and the surface starts to bubble.
-
Then flip and cook on the other side. Repeat this for the remaining tortilla.
-
Place two tortillas in two separate round baking pans.
-
Add in the rice prepared at the center followed by the black beans mixture. Now pour the sauce, Mexican cheese blend. Roll it up and place it fold side down.
-
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top of the tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese.

Enchilada Style Burrito is now ready. Serve hot and enjoy.
- Also use meat of your choice if desired.
- You can use store bought tortillas for the recipe.
- You can also substitute the rice and black beans by one single black beans rice.
- I have used jasmine rice for this recipe. Use any rice of your choice but see that you saute it first to get the nutty flavor.
- I have used mexican cheese blend that consists of shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asadero, Queso Blanco. You can use any one cheese or a mixture of all.
- You can use substitute black beans with pinto beans.
- Nicely drain and wash the canned black beans to reduce the sodium.
- If using dried black beans :
- Soak the black beans in water for 3 hours adding little baking soda and drain them. Adding soda makes it cook faster.
- Cook the black beans in pan or pressure cooker for one whistle. Add salt while cooking.

I just got his recipe from a dear friend that is making it tonight. I must say it looks soo good! I will do this for our family this weekend! I just wonder if I should double the recipe! For a family of four? And we only eat Jasmin rice here!!! I think this will end up on our menu for a long time to come.
Thanks so much for sharing it!
Timothy, Thank you for your comment. Yes, simply double the recipe for four! I love Jasmine rice, and I have used it in this recipe. Don’t forget to let me know how it turned out!
Looks great. I don’t see the mix for the rice?
It’s in the ingredient list and in step I too. If you are still not bale to get it you can substitute black beans and rice using this recipe which is loved by most of my readers 🙂 https://www.cookwithkushi.com/black-beans-rice/
I was surprised to see that alot of reviews that I had read, so far, the people hadn’t actually tried the recipe yet LOL! But I understand all the excitement, I’ve tried this recipe with my family again and again. I loved that the burrito wasn’t overly loaded with spices because the enchilada sauce packs a lot of punch on its own! Overall the recipe was amazing, thank you so much for sharing your recipe.

This is fantastic, I made it for the first time earlier this week and the family already wants it again. I added chicken from a store bought rotisserie chicken. Easy and delicious!
Thank you so much. I am glad you liked it!
Woww! Another burrito recipes! Im such a burrito lover, it’s healthy and makes me feel full for hours. I won’t miss this burrito recipe.
Haven’t had burrito for ages I dunno why. I just need to cook it and cook it NOW!
Looks so delicious! Usually, I don’t like burrito, but now I think that probably I didn’t see any good one yet 🤔
Oh wow, this one is a winner. This is so good. This will be a huge hit for sure.
I’m vegan so wouldn’t eat these but they do look absolutely DELICIOUS!
Burritos are always wow… However, this is a must try recipe once I get well.
This would be awesome right now! I love ading a little variety now and then in what we eat.
Looks so delicious! 😛 And you say that you replicated the enchilada style burrito? What a great idea! Would love to try it, thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
This is a super recipe. We love burritos in our house and these look delicious!
I love Mexican food, actually I had a burrito yesterday! But I have never done it (nor enchilada) myself. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

This recipe looks yummy and filling. Easy to make and lots of flavors added into that burrito. Awesome.
I too love Mexican food because of the amalgamation of flavors. I’ve not tried making enchiladas with rice stuffed in it. This definitely is a very delicious filling dish.
This looks amazing! Enchilada style burritos are my favorite. Such good flavors in these!
Mexican seems to be a real crowd pleaser with my kids and they eat it often. I am always looking for ways to change things up so I don’t serve tacos every week. This is a great idea and I know they will love it!

I pinned this for reference. Yummy.
Wow, I have never tried to make this recipe looks really delicious and easy. I will try to make this for my kids, thanks for sharing!
That’s a very satisfying twist to add to the burritos. I haven’t made any for a long time. Maybe I will over the holiday break.

I love everything about this recipe! This is pure comfort food! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
Oh my gosh these look so delicious. Pinning this recipe to save for later!
I love the flavours of Mexican burritos and other dishes, as you say they have something in common with the spicing used in India. I also like how you made these in the single-use metal trays, so I’m wondering whether you can freeze and then reheat / cook from frozen?
Love burritos, it is ideal for a brunch or for weekend. Yours looks so delish, feel like grabbing one.
This looks really really good. I love Mexican food, I had the best Mexican food ever last year when i went to New York and it looked exactly like this!
Great work!
WOW!! Now that is one good looking burrito! We certainly love the Mexican flavors used in the their cuisine. Although we aren’t familiar with Indian cuisine but you mentioned that you use similar spices so I know we’d love it.
I LOVE a good burrito! I’m never made a FOR REAL Mexican meal before and especially not an enchilada style burrito!! My family will love this!
Ooh my goodness! Hands down one of the best looking burriots I’ve seen. I can only imagine how delicious it must taste…I’ll take two ;D

That looks delicious. Mouthwatering. We also love to eat in Mexican restaurant. Although ate it lot of time never tried it at home. Will try your version for sure.
Mmm… I think I just heard my tummy growl. lol. Thank you for making me hungry!
This is the best meatless burrito recipe I have ever tried. So good, that I made it again the following week using a can of S&W pinto beans with chipotle instead of the black beans, and that tweak was even more tasty. This recipe is a winner.
Move over Taco Tuesday! Yum. I used pinto beans instead of black beans, just out of personal preference. The rice is also good on it own. Made extra rice and severed with bbq chicken the next day.
I am so happy that you liked it. I love your serving suggestion for leftover rice!
Its looking so delicious…
You should give these a try! Thanks for your encouraging comment 🙂
We made these again last night and everyone loved them! Thanks!
