BEEF TAQUITO CASSEROLE

Frozen beef taquitos are a fun twist to this easy and quick Taquito Casserole. This easy casserole requires no chopping, no pre-cooking and only a couple minutes prep.

This taquito casserole is one of my favorite dinners to make. You know those days that you just want super kid-friendly food that is sure to make everyone happy? Well this casserole is just that.

– cooked rice – frozen corn – black beans – mild red enchilada sauce – mild taco seasoning – shredded cheese – frozen beef & cheese taquitos

Ingredients

Heat oven to 375°. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish and spray with cooking spray.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked rice, frozen corn, black beans, enchilada sauce, taco seasoning, and 1 cup of the cheese.

Layer 20 frozen beef taquitos over the rice mixture in the pan.

Cook for 30-35 minutes or until the taquitos are crispy and a nice golden brown color.

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup cheese over the taquitos and put it back in the oven for 2-3 minutes.

Serve with all your favorite taco toppings.

IS THIS CASSEROLE SPICY? – It does have a "bite" to it but if you follow the recipe as written, it's not so bad that kids won't eat it. My kids still eat it fine.

HOW LONG WILL LEFTOVERS LAST? – This casserole actually reheats fairly well. The taquitos will not be as crispy as they are when it's fresh out of the oven. Leftovers are good for about 3-4 days after.

So great for a busy weeknight. Serve with your favorite taco toppings for a yummy, kid-approved, and fun dinner!
