Guess what time it is? It’s 30 minute meals time! YAY!!
Did you all know I love (seriously love) casseroles?!
I really do! I used to make them almost every night when Sean and I first got married. But after a while we stopped making them because we got tired of always eating casseroles. They’re simple to make and almost always only use one pot, which is awesome. Especially when you’re young and don’t know how to cook. I made them so often that we got tired of them and said no more!
Fast forward a few years, okay 15 years and we’re ready to introduce casseroles into our lives again. Since I heart, okay maybe obsess over Mexican food, I thought what better way to introduce casseroles again then have it be a Mexican recipe. I know, I know, but what can I say, I love Mexican food.
Oh my gosh, you guys this casserole is to die for. I’m so happy that we’re making casseroles again because I’ll make this recipe again and again. It’s simple to throw together and on your dinner table within 30 minute. What’s not to love, right?
You all know that I love a quick meal. There are days that I just don’t feel like cooking dinner and this recipe is great beaucae it only takes 30 minutes.
Guess what? It’s great as left overs too. That’s a winner in my family. We aren’t big leftover people, so when a dish tastes great as leftovers it’s a go to recipe in my book. I think you all should make this recipe for dinner tonight. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I’d love to know how you all liked it.
Be sure to visit all of my food blogger friends and check out their 30 minute meals. You’ll love them all as much as I do. Promise!! 🙂 Happy April!!

I had leftover turkey from Thanksgiving and made up a similar dish using up leftovers…. I had kale spinach dip, shredded carrots, sliced mushrooms, a diced onion, a jar of salsa, some whole wheat tortillas, a packet of taco seasoning, fresh cilantro, diced olives- green and black, a pack of shredded pepperjack cheese and a handful of diced jalapenos I diced and froze a few months ago before they went bad! Start with a layer of salsa in a baking dish, a layer of tortilla..then layer ingredients in two more layers between tortillas ending with salsa and cheese. 350 degrees until hot…30 mins! You could also roll the ingredients in the tortillas pour salsa and cheese on top and have enchilladas. You can pretty much add anything left over in your frig to use it before you lose it! Another bonus was the added space in frig after…. and Cyndi is right…its equally as good the next day.

Ok, you’re reminding ME about casseroles now! I grew up eating them a lot and I used to make them fairly often when I first started cooking too. But then I sort of stopped, for whatever reasons. I think I need back on the casserole train! This looks amazing. I’m always down for Mexican flavors!
You totally need to get on the casserole train again Liz!! 😉 Thanks sweetie!
This casserole looks amazing! So much cheese and so much flavor- things I am ALL about 🙂
Thank you Medha!! <3
Yes! I adore casseroles now that 2/3 of us are working outside of the home. They’re easy to throw together and pop into the oven and even better for leftovers so we’re not eating out for lunch at work. Adding this one to the list!
Thanks Bintu and I hope you guys like it!!
I LOVE burritos and this would be so much easier (and less messy since I over-pack mine!) I love a good ole casserole 🙂
Haha I always over pack my burritos too! 🙂
I love that you turned burritos into an easy casserole!! Perfect for those busy nights 🙂
Thanks Amanda and I totally agree!
Wow. This looks incredible!
Thank you!! 🙂
What a great idea to take all the wonderfulness of burritos and make it into a super-easy casserole! And you weren’t kidding about this being easy – what a perfect recipe to totally save the day when life gets busy!
Thank you Shelley!!
Casseroles are the best! This looks amazing!
Thanks Michelle!
Easy casseroles like this are my favorite! I love that I can prep dinner earlier in the day and then all I have to do is pop it in the oven when it’s time to eat. The flavors in this one are some of my favorites!
Casseroles are just so easy huh? Thanks Kristine!
I love casseroles too! They are usually pretty easy to make and then you have dinner for a few nights! (unless you have really hungry people lol!) And, of course I’m so on board with this cheesy burrito casserole! I could eat this every night 🙂
Me too Izzy! Me too!! 🙂
This is one casserole my family would devour! It looks awesome!
Thanks Cathy! 🙂

Thank you Andi!!
This deliciousness takes just 30 minutes to make? It’s definitely going on my to -make list stat! What a gorgeous looking casserole!
Thank you Samina!
This looks DELISH, Cyndi! I am such a Mexican food addict, and we don’t eat it nearly often enough. Love that you got burrito flavors in there.
Thank you Denise! I’m with you on being a Mexican food addict! 😉
I never used to like casseroles when I was younger, but am enjoying them more and more as I get older – because they’re so easy, and who doesn’t love one pot meals?! This one looks amazing – and I love Mexican food so I would definitely love this!
Thank you Stacey!!
