Encheritos were one of the most iconic inventions Taco Bell ever came up with, so why did they get rid of it despite still stocking all the ingredients they used to make it anyway, aside from the classic olives that they took out of the dish decades ago anyway?

They did? I remember it being ridiculously overpriced, but I didn't remember them getting rid of it.

Look how they had separate lines for each entree. Probably made things a lot more efficient. The 70’s/80’s were so much better than what we got now

they were literally the only reason I went to taco bell. My Taco Bell continued to make them up until about a year ago. Haven't been there since.

Enchirito (Spanish pronunciation: [entʃiˈɾito]) is the trademarked name of Taco Bell's menu item of the Tex-Mex food similar to an enchilada. It is composed of a flour tortilla filled with seasoned ground beef taco meat (with options to substitute steak or chicken), beans, diced onions, cheddar cheese, and "red sauce"

How is that different from just an enchilada?

Enchiladas are made with corn tortillas, encheritos are made with a burrito style flour tortilla, thus it is enchilada + burrito

Even after the Enchirito was officially discontinued in 1993, some customers still ordered them, and word spread through the Internet that many restaurants would still make them with the ingredients they had available.[12][13] Due to this underground popularity, it was decided to bring it back, and commercials, featuring the Taco Bell chihuahua promoting the Enchirito, began airing on December 26, 1999,[12][14] with later commercials in mid-2000 featuring the rapping or singing styles of the "five guys with no talent".[15] However, some things about the item had changed. The serving container had become a coated pressed-paper oblong bowl when dining in, or a black plastic bowl with a clear plastic lid if ordering from the drive-thru. Most significantly, the character of the dish was altered by changing the yellow corn masa tortilla to a white wheat flour tortilla. The sliced olives were omitted.[16] The chicken Enchirito and the steak Enchirito, which respectively substitute chicken or steak for the ground beef, were also introduced as options.[12] The Enchirito is served with a plastic spork.[16] The Enchirito was once again discontinued when Taco Bell introduced the Smothered Burrito on July 25, 2013.[17] While it may not be currently seen on the menu, it can be requested when ordering.[1]

They took it off the menu then but you could still order it at most locations up until a couple years ago.
