Ingredients
  

  • 6 to 10 flour tortillas, cut into strips about 1 1/2 inches wide
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 pound ground beef, lean
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 15-ounce can refried beans
  • 1/2 cup salsa, or 2 plum tomatoes, diced
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, or pepper jack
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, guacamole, salsa, chopped cilantro, tortilla chips, sliced green onions

Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 350 F and spray a 1 1/2 to 2-quart baking dish with cooking oil spray.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, until the beef is no longer pink. Add the garlic and seasonings and cook for 1 minute longer. Stir in the refried beans.
  • Arrange half of the tortilla strips in the prepared baking dish and top with all of the burrito beef mixture, diced tomatoes, and cilantro, if using. Top with the remaining tortilla strips and then sprinkle with the cheese. Cover the baking dish with foil. At this point you may refrigerate the casserole overnight.
