Description

This Frozen Burrito Casserole is the ultimate weeknight shortcut meal. With just a few ingredients, store-bought frozen burritos become a cheesy, saucy baked dish that tastes homemade. Quick, budget-friendly, and customizable with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

8 frozen burritos (any variety), unwrapped
2 cans (10 oz each) red enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Sour cream, for serving
Salsa, for serving
Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional)

Ingredient Tip: Use beef, chicken, or bean-and-cheese burritos. For a milder flavor, choose mild enchilada sauce, or spice it up with medium or hot.

Instructions

Preheat oven: Set oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Arrange burritos: Place six burritos in a single row in the dish. Fit the remaining two sideways to fill the space evenly.
Add sauce: Pour enchilada sauce evenly over burritos, coating each one well.
Bake: Cover and bake for 30 minutes, until heated through.
Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Bake uncovered for about 5 more minutes, or until melted and bubbly.
Serve & garnish: Top each serving with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Pair with Spanish rice, a side salad, or tortilla chips and guacamole for a complete meal.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in the oven at 325°F or in the microwave for 1-2 minutes per burrito.
