I make this recipe in a 9×13-inch pyrex pan because I use that pan for absolutely everything! I kind of had a tough time with what I should call this recipe. My head kept wanting me to call these enchiladas… but they’re made with flour tortillas instead of corn, and there is absolutely no enchilada sauce involved. In fact, there is no sauce of any kind involved. And since they’re all nicely snuggled into a casserole dish, and because this meal provided great comfort to my family, I decided to dub this as Beef Burrito Casserole. Whatever it is, it’s a totally family-friendly dinner idea. I was really happy to find my son asking for seconds (something he definitely doesn’t do if he is not super psyched about what I’ve made for dinner).
How to Make Beef Burrito Casserole:
This dinner is so easy to make. The meat/bean mixture is quickly cooked in a saute pan. It’s non-traditional because there is a little bit of Parmesan cheese mixed in too. That’s what makes these different! Then a generous spoonful of the meat is scooped into the center of the tortilla.
The tortilla is wrapped snuggly around the filling…
…and then it’s placed seam-side-down in a casserole dish (just like you do when you make enchiladas).
Sprinkle cheese on top… and green onions, if your family will let you get away with a few of those.
Cover and bake until the cheese is all nice and melted and yummy. That’s it.
It’s a super easy dinner recipe to make. You can let people choose what they want on top… salsa, sour cream and avocado were our choices. A little chopped tomato would be good too. The “I like things plain” eaters can just eat them as-is and nix the toppings.
I think your family will love it and ask for it again (at least mine has!) Enjoy!
When I make this for guests that are not my everyday family, I like to use my beautiful red ceramic baker instead of the pyrex!
