Author's Notes

To store: Let the casserole cool completely and then either cover the whole dish and place it in the fridge or put individual slices into airtight containers and place them in the fridge. This casserole will stay good for up to about 5 days in the fridge.

To reheat, simply place a serving on a microwave-safe plate and microwave in 30-second intervals until heated through.

Cooking Instructions

Hide images
step 1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and lightly spray a rectangle baking dish (about 11x8-inch) with Nonstick Cooking Spray (as needed).
step 2
In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, add Ground Beef (1 lb). Season with Salt (to taste) and Ground Black Pepper (to taste), and cook until browned, crumbling it as it cooks.
step 3
When the beef is almost done cooking, add Ground Cumin (1 tsp), Chili Powder (1 tsp), Simply Organic Garlic Powder (1/2 tsp), Paprika (1/2 tsp), and Cayenne Pepper (1/4 tsp). Toss to evenly coat the beef.
step 4
Remove the beef from the pan and place it into a medium bowl. Set aside.
step 5
Add Yellow Onion (1) and Jalapeño Pepper (1) to the same skillet. Season with a little salt and pepper. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes and until softened, stirring frequently.
step 6
Add the beef back to the skillet, along with GOYA® Pinto Beans (2 cups) and 1 1/2 cups of the Enchilada Sauce (1 can). Save the other 1/2 cup for assembling the casserole. Let it simmer for about 2 minutes then remove it from the heat.
step 7
Add half of the beef mixture to the bottom of the baking dish followed by 1/2 cup of the Cheese (1 1/2 cups) and Flour Tortillas (2).
step 8
Add the other half of the beef mixture followed by another 1/2 cup of cheese, Flour Tortillas (2), the other 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce, and top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese.
step 9
Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
step 10
Remove foil and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
step 11
Once done, let the casserole rest for at least 3 minutes before slicing it into square servings. Optionally, top with Lime Wedges (to taste), Fresh Cilantro (to taste), Avocados (to taste), Sour Cream (to taste), or any of your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
