How to Make Smothered Beef And Bean Burrito Casserole

  1. Brown 1 lb ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain excess grease. (If using pre-cooked shredded beef, skip this step). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cooked beef, 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed kidney beans, 1 (4-ounce) can of diced green chilies, and 1/2 cup of your favorite salsa.
  3. Cut 8-10 flour tortillas in half.
  4. Arrange tortilla halves in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, overlapping slightly. Place cut edges perpendicular to the side of the pan.
  5. Spread one-third of the beef and bean mixture evenly over the tortillas.
  6. Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce over the meat mixture.
  7. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  8. Repeat layers 5-7 once more.
  9. Add another layer of tortilla halves.
  10. Top with the remaining beef and bean mixture.
  11. Cover with remaining tortilla halves.
  12. Pour the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce over the top.
  13. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
  14. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 75 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  15. Let stand for 10 minutes before topping with lettuce, diced tomatoes, and a dollop of sour cream (optional). Serve immediately.
