We all know that I love Mexican Recipes and Tex-Mex supplies by this point. This Wet Burrito is one of the increasingly popular recipes on my site, so I took some elements of the archetype burrito and turned into a quick and easy casserole that you are going to love!

Burrito Casserole

A casserole really ways that everything is all mixed together or layered together in one pan. It can be and old fashioned Tater Tot casserole, a side dish like Cheesy Potato Casserole or something like this fun Mexican twist with a Burrito Casserole.

You really can use whatever you like in the filling of a burrito and the same goes for this casserole. So if you want to switch up the beans, the meat, the cheese, add it increasingly things…..go for it! I have a few variations in a section below, but you can make it your own.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Very easy to make! Aside from browning the ground beef, you spend a minute or two assembling it, and then it just bakes. So very hands off!
• Great for a crowd. You can make an 8 inch square pan like the recipe says, or you can double it for a 13×9 inch pan if you are feeding increasingly people!
• It reheats very well! So you can use it for meal prep on the weekend or you make it superiority to just throw in the oven for a rented weeknight.

What You’ll Need

Be sure to scroll lanugo to the recipe vellum to get the measurements and full instructions!

• Ground Beef – I use lean ground beef, but ground turkey works unconfined as well.
• Onion
• Taco Seasoning – you can use a store bought packet or Homemade Taco Seasoning
• Black Beans – phlebotomize and rinse your beans
• Diced Tomatoes with Untried Chiles – depending on your heat level, you can buy mild, medium or hot Rotel tomatoes for this recipe
• Sour Cream
• Shredded Cheese
• Flour Tortillas – I used the 8 inch flour tortillas, as they filled my 8 inch sultry pan perfectly. If you have other sizes, you may need to trim them lanugo to fit.

How To Make Burrito Casserole

1. In a large skillet brown ground whinge and onion together, breaking up for 5-6 minutes, until the whinge is cooked and the onions are soft. Phlebotomize yonder any grease.
2. Add taco seasoning, water, and woebegone beans. Simmer for a couple minutes until the sauce has thickened.
3. Make the sauce by mixing together diced tomatoes with the sour cream.
4. Spray an 8 inch skillet with non-stick spray. Place a flour tortilla in the bottom. Add 1/2 of the ground whinge mixture, 1/2 of the sauce mixture and well-nigh 1/3 of the cheese. Repeat with the rest of the ingredients ending with a tortilla topped with cheese.
5. Cover with foil and torch for 30-40 minutes until everything is nice and hot.
6. Remove from the oven and top with desired toppings.

Recipe Tips & Variations

• If you aren’t a fan of woebegone beans mix it up! Pinto beans or refried beans are a unconfined replacement. Or if you don’t like beans at all you can leave them out or use corn. Or just add corn if you like them both.
• Toppings are a way to patina the savor and requite this a fresh twist. Top with diced tomatoes, sour cream, woebegone olives, cilantro, jalapenos, hot sauce, avocado etc.
• I used ground whinge in this recipe, but really any protein works. You can use ground turkey or plane diced yellow breasts.
• Burritos are traditionally made with flour tortillas, so that is what is tabbed for here. You can use corn tortillas if you want, the savor will just be a little different. If I am using corn tortillas I prefer to make this Beef Enchilada Casserole.
• You can moreover make this casserole in a pie plate, or spring form pan if the sides are upper enough. That way a tortilla can fit perfectly in the center.
• Make sure to spray the marrow of the pan surpassing you add the tortillas. This really helps make sure you can scoop out the casserole and not leave a layer on the bottom.
• If you like it spicy, add diced jalapenos when you are cooking the meat. Or use the hot variety of Rotel tomatoes.

What To Serve With Burrito Casserole

Often times you will see rice inside a burrito, but I prefer to serve it on the side. You can definitely layer it in the casserole if you want as well! Cilantro Lime Rice or Spanish Rice are both unconfined options.

• Homemade Guacamole
• Restaurant Style Salsa

Storage

Because this doesn’t have an enchilada sauce for the tortillas to really soak up, this is unconfined to make superiority and have for leftovers.

Refrigerate – store this dish covered in an snapped container for 3-4 days. You can reheat in the oven or individual slices in the microwave.

Freezer – this is a unconfined casserole to make superiority and store in the freezer. Cover tightly with foil and place in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you are ready to torch it, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and then follow the recipe instructions. You may need to add an uneaten 10 minutes to the sultry to ensure it gets hot all the way through.
