Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds ground beef (85/15)
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 14 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 8 ounces canned diced green chiles
- ½ cup black olives, sliced
- 4 cups refried beans (or 2 cans)
- 16 ounces salsa
- 12 flour tortillas (8-inch)
- 2 ½ cups cheddar cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray an 8×8-inch baking dish with baking spray.
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onions over high heat. Break the beef apart while cooking until browned.
- Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds. Remove beef mixture from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, reduce heat to medium and add the diced tomatoes, green chiles, black olives, refried beans, and salsa. Stir well and heat through.
- Layer the burrito pie in the prepared baking dish: Start with 3 tortillas, then top with ⅓ of the refried beans, ⅓ of the meat mixture, and ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layering process twice more. End with a final layer of tortillas and top with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake for 30 minutes, uncovered, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve hot with sour cream, salsa, cilantro, or guacamole.
Notes
- For a spicier version, add a bit of jalapeño or your favorite hot sauce.
- This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for 1-2 days before baking.
