José Olé® Taquito-Enchilada Bake Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by kayjayjohnson

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (20-oz.) can red enchilada sauce
1 (20.0-oz) box José Olé® Shredded Steak Taquitos or 1 (22.5-oz) Chicken & Cheese Taquitos, partially thawed
1 1/2 cups shredded 3-cheese Mexican blend, divided
1 (16-oz.) can refried beans, heated
1/3 cup each: sliced green onions and diced red onions (combined)
1 (2.25-oz.) can sliced black olives, drained (optional)
Sour Cream (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour 1/3 of the enchilada sauce into a lightly greased 11x7x2-inch baking dish. Arrange 1/2 of the José Olé® Taquitos over enchilada sauce. Evenly spread heated refried beans over taquitos. Layer 1/3 more sauce, 1/2 the onion mixture and 1/2 the shredded cheese. Top with remaining taquitos and enchilada sauce. Bake, covered, for 25 minutes or until heated through. The last 5 minutes of baking, top with remaining cheese. Garnish with onions and olives. Serve with sour cream if desired. Makes 4 to 6 servings.

Tips:

  • Use store-bought rotisserie chicken: This is a great time-saver and makes the recipe incredibly easy to prepare.
  • Shred the chicken before cooking: This will help the chicken cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: Feel free to experiment with different types of cheeses to create a unique flavor combination.
