Ingredients

Casserole

  • 8 frozen burritos {unwrapped}
  • 19 ounces enchilada sauce
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 2 cups shredded cheese

Toppings

  • ¼ cup diced tomatoes
  • 3 green onions
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup cilantro {chopped}

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°. Spray the bottom of a 9x13 pan with nonstick spray.
  • Combine the enchilada sauce and salsa in a small bowl and stir to combine. Add a half cup of mixture to the bottom of the prepared pan. Top the burritos with the remaining enchilada sauce mixture.
  • Place in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and add the cheese. Continue baking for 5 more minutes or until the cheese is melted.
  • Top with diced tomatoes, sliced green onion, sour cream and cilantro to serve. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Notes

  • There is no need to thaw the burritos.  Use them from the frozen state and make your life so much easier.  If you end up with thawed burritos the baking time will only need to be about 20 minutes.
  • Make this recipe ahead of time and refrigerate until you are ready to bake.  If the burritos are thawed, only bake for 20-25 minutes before adding the shredded cheese to the top.
  •  There are a couple of ways to reheat this recipe.  To use the oven, cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until heated through.
    For the microwave, place individual servings on a microwave safe plate and heat for 1-2 minutes.  Check to see if it is warmed through and add additional 30 second intervals until ready to serve.
