Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 14.5 oz diced tomatoes, drained
- 16 oz refried beans
- 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
- 10 oz enchilada sauce
- 6 pieces flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add the vegetable oil and sauté the diced onion until soft and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until browned and fully cooked, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well. Add the diced tomatoes and black beans. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the refried beans and enchilada sauce. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Spread a thin layer of the refried bean mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Place one tortilla on top of the layer. Spread a portion of the beef mixture over the tortilla, followed by a layer of the refried bean mixture, and a sprinkle of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Repeat the layering process (tortilla, beef mixture, refried bean mixture, cheese) until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the burrito pie cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream, if desired.
