Burrito Casserole




UPDATE:  Lawry's took the Chimichurri seasoning off the market! :-(

1 lb. ground beef
1 15 oz can black beans
1 8 oz can tomato sauce
1 1/2 C water
1 1.4 oz package Lawry's Chimichurri Burrito Casserole seasoning
8 flour tortillas
1 1/2 C shredded Mexican Cheese blend

1. In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Season with salt and pepper.
2. When beef is browned, drain fat. Drain and rinse black beans and add them to browned beef.
3. In a small mixing bowl, mix together water, tomato sauce, and Lawry's seasoning packet.
4. Pour 1 cup of the red sauce into your beef and bean mixture. Stir to incorporate.
5. Fill each tortilla with some of the meat mixture.
6. Roll tortilla up. Lay it in 9x13 pan, greased with cooking spray. Repeat with other 7 tortillas.
7. Pour the rest of the red sauce over the top of the rolled burritos.
8. Cover with cheese.
9. Bake at 350* for 15 minutes or until heated through and cheese is melted.
10. Serve with desired topping such as, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, salsa, avocado, fresh diced tomatoes, cilantro, and sour cream.

* I don't think a recipe could get any more simple than this one. It was quick to prepare and quick to cook. The end result was a delicious and tasty dish! We served it with salsa, sour cream, cilantro, and lettuce. It was very filling and satisfying and will be repeated in our home again!
