Notes

Burrito casserole is best served warm. You can add toppings like diced tomatoes, avocado slices, jalapeños, or fresh cilantro for an extra burst of flavor. It goes well with tortilla chips or a fresh side salad. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply pop it in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
