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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and diced green chilies. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Step 5
Spread 1/4 cup of the cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Once all tortillas are placed in the dish, spread the remaining cream cheese mixture evenly over the top.
Step 8
Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Step 9
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 10
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 11
Allow the casserole to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro, if desired.
Step 12
Serve warm and enjoy your creamy burrito casserole!
