CHICKEN BURRITO CASSEROLE
A wonderful chicken burrito casserole that is simple to make but does not lack flavor. Very flavorful dish that is so easy to prepare and assemble. This is always a hit and never any leftovers (literally)! Great for pot lucks and get togethers. Mexican food is always easy and beautiful once dressed with all the toppings, very colorful. This dish freezes and reheats wonderfully. For easy weeknight preparation either make over the weekend and freeze for whenever you'd like to eat it OR you can do like I do... cook a ton of chicken on the weekend and then use it in various recipes during the week. Variations... you may add other ingredients to the layers that you like such as refried beans, olives, jalapenos, etc. You don't have to use only breast meat when making this recipe. It's great to recycle left over chicken from a BBQ! Note... instead of making in a large casserole dish I make in a deep one so I have more layers.

Steps:
- Make the filling:
- In a large heavy skillet cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until the onion is softened, add the beans, and mash about half of them coarse with the back of a wooden spoon. Add the tomato sauce, the cumin, the chilies, and salt and black pepper to taste, simmer the mixture, stirring, for 3 to 5 minutes, or until it is thickened slightly, and stir in the coriander.
- Working with 1 warmed tortilla at a time and keeping the others covered, spread about 3 tablespoons of the filling down the center of each tortilla and roll the tortillas, enclosing the filling but keeping the ends open. Arrange the burritos, seam sides down, in one layer in a baking dish, sprinkle them with the Monterey Jack, and bake them, covered with foil, in the middle of a preheated 350°F. oven for 10 minutes. Serve the burritos with the guacamole and the salsa.
MEXICAN TEX-MEX BURRITO ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
My DH really, really enjoys this, while I just find it OK. ;) I adopted this recipe from the RecipeZaar account in August 2006, and after I prepared it Sept. 4, 2006, I made some minor changes (adding the size of canned ingredients, adding onions in with the meat mixture, etc). Original poster's comments: "This is more of a Tex Mex recipe than Mexican. Truly delicious!"

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine sauce mix, water, tomato paste, garlic, pepper & salt. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes.
- In a skillet, brown the beef and drain. Stir in 1/3 of sauce.
- Spread 1/3 of sauce in the bottom of a greased 9 x 13" baking dish. Place 3 tortillas over sauce, tearing to fit the bottom of pan. Spoon half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese.
- Add 3 more tortillas. Spread refried beans over tortillas, then top with remaining meat. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 cups of the cheddar cheese.
- Layer remaining tortillas, then top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
- While it is baking, prepare topping ingredients into small containers and arrange on a serving tray.
- Serve casserole with topping tray so guests can choose whatever toppings they desire. (Can also be served plain without toppings and it's still very good).
Tips:
- Use a large skillet to cook the beef. This will help to prevent the meat from overcrowding and becoming tough.
- Season the beef generously with chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. This will give the meat a flavorful crust.
- Cook the beef until it is browned on all sides. This will help to develop the flavor of the meat.
- Drain the excess grease from the beef before adding it to the casserole dish. This will help to reduce the fat content of the dish.
- Use a variety of beans in the casserole. This will add different flavors and textures to the dish.
- Use a combination of shredded cheese and cheese sauce in the casserole. This will create a gooey, cheesy texture.
- Top the casserole with crushed tortilla chips before baking. This will add a crispy texture to the dish.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and Pico de gallo.
