"Our family loves mexican food, so this flavorful, satisfying
casserole is a favorite. It's nice to have a way to get the taste of
burritos and be able to cut servings any size you want." --Joyce Kent
In a saucepan, combine the first 6 ingredients; simmer for 15 to
20 minutes. In a skillet, brown the beef. Drain; stir in 1/3rd of the
sauce. Spread another 3rd on the bottom of a greased 13x9x2" baking
pan. Place 3 tortillas over sauce, tearing to fit bottom of pan.
Spoon half of meat mixture over tortillas; sprinkle with 1-1/2 cups
cheese. Add 3 more tortillas. Spread refried beans over tortillas;
top with remaining meat. Sprinkle with 1-1/2 cups cheese. Layer
remaining tortillas; top with the remaining sauce. Sprinkle with
remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350 F for 35 to 40 minutes. Let
stand 10 minutes before cutting. Serve with taco sauce, sour cream,
chili peppers, chopped onion, and/or guacamole if desired.
