Our family loves Mexican food, so this flavorful, satisfying casserole is a favorite. It's nice to have a way to get the taste of burritos and be able to cut servings any size you want. -Joyce Kent, Grand Rapids, Michigan Ingredients:
2 packages (1-1/2 ounces each) enchilada sauce mix |
3 cups water |
1 can (12 ounces) tomato paste |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
salt to taste |
2 pounds ground turkey or beef |
9 large flour tortillas (9-inch) |
4 cups (16 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese or mexican cheese blend |
1 can (16 ounces) refried beans, warmed |
taco sauce, sour cream, chili peppers, chopped onion and/or guacamole, optional |
Directions:
1. In a saucepan, combine the first six ingredients; simmer for 15-20 minutes.
2. In a skillet, brown the beef. Drain; stir in one third of the sauce. Spread another third on the bottom of a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan.
