Enchilada Bake

I got this recipe from a co-worker (shout out to Mamma T!) and I love that it is so quick and easy by using store bought taquitos as a short cut.  If you are in a time crunch but still want the yummy goodness of enchiladas- check this one out!




1 - 22.5 oz box Steak and Cheese Taquitos, partially thawed
1 - 20oz can enchilada sauce
1 ½ cups shredded Mexican cheese, divided
1 - 16 oz can refried beans, heated
⅓ cup EACH - sliced green onions and diced red onion (combined)
1 - 2.25 ox can sliced black olives, drained
Sour cream (optional)

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Pour ⅓ of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a lightly greased 13 x 9 baking pan.  Arrange ½ of the taquitos over the enchilada sauce.  Evenly spread the heated refried beans over the taquitos.  Layer ⅓ more sauce, ½ the cheese, ½ the onion mix.  Top with the remaining taquitos and enchilada sauce.  Bake, covered for 25 minutes or until heated through.  The last 5 minutes of baking, top with remaining cheese.  Garnish with the onions and olives.
