Easy Burrito Casserole // One pot Dish // Step by Step ❤️

Brown 1.5 lbs of 85/15 ground beef in a skillet and drain excess grease.

Add 1 cup of finely chopped onions to the beef and cook until translucent, about 1 minute.

Add 2 large minced garlic cloves and 1/3 cup of chopped jalapenos to the skillet.

Stir in 1 cup of chopped tomatoes and 3 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning, mixing well.

Incorporate 2 cups of refried beans into the mixture and stir until combined.

Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F.

Spray a 10.5 by 9.25 inch deep baking dish with non-stick spray.

Layer medium flour tortillas on the bottom of the dish, cutting one in half to cover gaps.

Spread half of the meat filling over the tortillas.

Add a thin layer of Mexican rice on top of the meat filling.

Dollop sour cream over the rice and spread it out.

Sprinkle American cheese on top of the sour cream.

Repeat the layering process with another tortilla, the remaining meat mixture, rice, sour cream, and cheese.

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until bubbly.

Remove the foil for the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the top to get golden.

Let the casserole cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.

Top with a dollop of sour cream and pico de gallo with avocado before serving.
