Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 16 ounces Refried beans
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 4 ounces Diced green chilies
- 5 large Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning and 1/4 cup of water to the browned beef. Stir well and let simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and diced green chilies. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Spread 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Begin assembling the casserole by spreading a layer of refried beans across each tortilla, followed by a scoop of the seasoned ground beef. Roll each tortilla tightly and arrange seam-side down in the baking dish.
Once all tortillas are placed in the dish, spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy burrito casserole!
