What you need for this frozen burrito bake

To make this burrito casserole with frozen burritos, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
• Sour cream
• Salsa (I prefer pico de gallo salsa for this frozen burrito casserole recipe)
• Cilantro (optional)

Other frozen burrito hacks

Looking for different ideas for recipes using frozen burritos? Here are a a few variations:

• Use salsa (red or green) or green enchilada sauce instead of the red enchilada sauce.
• Make a chipotle cream sauce instead of the enchilada sauce. See my recipe here.
• Use Monterey Jack cheese in place of the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
• Add more protein! Crumbled taco seasoned ground beef, strips of fajita chicken, shredded pork, and grilled shrimp are great additions for this frozen burrito bake.
• Top with any of your other favorite enchilada or taco toppings (guacamole or sliced avocado, shredded lettuce, sliced black olives, diced onions, black beans, etc.).
• Add crumbled tortilla chips to the top for some extra crunch.
• Make a chili-cheese frozen burrito casserole by subbing the enchilada sauce for canned chili and the Mexican cheese blend for shredded Cheddar. Serve topped with dollops of sour cream.

How to make a frozen burrito casserole

To make this frozen burrito casserole recipe, start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F. Unwrap your frozen burritos and arrange them in a 9×13” baking dish, 6 in a row, and 2 turned sideways next to the row to fill out the dish (see the photo above).

Top the frozen burrito bake with enchilada sauce.

Place the frozen burrito casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes. Add the cheese and continue baking until the cheese is melted (about 5 more minutes). Top with sour cream, salsa, and cilantro if desired.
