Burrito Pie
Instead of making actual burritos, all the components of a meat, bean and cheese burrito are stacked up with salsa and spices and baked to perfection. I love this meal because it takes hardly any effort and it is very customizable to what your family likes.
Prep Time: 20 hrs 36 mins
Cook Time: 20 hrs 36 mins
Ingredients
4 fajita sized tortillas
Oil for frying- I use vegetable oil but you can use whatever you prefer
1- pound ground beef
1 small onion diced
Salt and pepper
1 16 ounce can refried beans
¾ cup your favorite salsa
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups of your favorite cheese I use cheddar or a Mexican blend
Favorite burrito toppings like sour cream, lettuce, olives and hot sauce! Whatever you like!
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350.
-
In a shallow skillet, warm up enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. I usually set the heat to medium-low.
-
Once the oil is heated, lightly fry the tortillas one at a time until they are golden brown. It will only take a few minutes on each side. Set them on a paper towel once the come out of the pan.
-
Meanwhile, in another pan, brown the ground beef with the onion and the salt and pepper. Once it’s done, drain the fat and add it back into the pan.
-
To the meat, add the refried beans, salsa, chili powder and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
-
Spray a dish with non-stick spray (I use a glass pie dish).
-
Start layering: tortilla, ¼ of the meat mixture spread out onto the tortilla, then ½ cup of cheese evenly sprinkled on the meat. Repeat the layers until all the meat mixture and cheese is gone.
-
Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted.
-
Serve with your favorite burrito toppings!
