Tortilla Casserole My Way image

Cinco de Mayo, 2005. Couldn't find exactly the right recipe to make, using ingredients I already had, so I made this one up. It's a keeper!

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb lean ground beef
1 small onion, peeled and diced
1 tablespoon taco seasoning (I used Penzeys Bold)
1 (16 ounce) can fat-free refried beans (I used Old El Paso)
8 (7 inch) flour tortillas (the package says "medium" for the size)
1 (10 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup (I used Campbells)
1 (17 1/4 ounce) jar red enchilada sauce (I used Pace "mild")
1/2 lb cheddar cheese (I used two cups of Kraft's shredded lowfat "Mexican 4-cheese blend")

Steps:

  • Please note that some of the products used to create this recipe were purchased in Canada, and some bought in the US while I was on vacation; if you want to make this, just use whatever products you like best.
  • Preheat oven to 375F; spray a large oblong casserole dish with nonstick spray (I used an olive oil spray) and set aside.
  • In a large skillet, brown the ground beef and saute the onions, sprinkling in the taco seasoning; when meat is brown and onion has softened, turn heat down to low and stir in the refried beans.
  • After a minute or two over the heat, the beans will soften and you will be able to combine the meat and beans easily.
  • Turn off heat and set skillet aside.
  • On your counter, lay out the 8 tortillas.
  • Evenly divide meat mixture on the tortillas; fold tortillas into thirds, or roll up, whatever suits your fancy; place bundles (I call them enchiladas) into prepared casserole dish.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soup and sauce; pour over the enchiladas.
  • Next, sprinkle on the cheese.
  • Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes; let cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Best served with sour cream and salsa on the side.
