Refried Bean Casserole

Ingredients

Corn tortillas, about 12, depending on the size of your baking pan
1 large can traditional refried beans
1 large can black refried beans
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 regular can diced tomatoes
1 small can diced green chilies
1 large can enchilada sauce
2 tbs. butter
Shredded Cheddar or Mexican blend cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400.

In a large saucepan, combine both cans of beans and taco seasoning. Heat through and stir to combine—the heat makes the beans softer and easier to spread.

Melt butter. Brush the bottom of your baking dish, then lay enough to tortillas to completely cover the bottom and brush them with butter. Spread half the beans over the tortillas, then add half of each of the tomatoes, chilies, sauce, and cheese, evenly spread. Add another layer of tortillas, brush with butter, and repeat.

Bake about 25 minutes, until the cheese is browned. Serve with sour cream, pico de gallo, guacamole, or any other condiments you choose.

Enjoy!
