Mexican Tortilla Casserole

Mexican Tortilla Casserole

Mexican Tortilla Casserole is an easy-to-prepare, vegetarian-friendly meal that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or a gathering of friends. You can easily add meat for a heartier dish! Essentially, it’s like a lasagna, with tortillas standing in for noodles. This dish is cheesy, flavorful, and filling, and it works great for make-ahead meals.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef (or shredded chicken for a lighter version)
  • ½ cup diced onion
  • 1 pack taco seasoning mix
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 can refried beans (warm in microwave for easier spreading)
  • 1 cup prepared rice (e.g., Minute Rice)
