Ingredients

Meat and Beans

1 pound ground beef
1 cup onion, chopped (Use fresh onions for crunch and sweetness.)
1 ounce taco seasoning (one packet or 2 tablespoons)
16 ounces refried beans (about 2 cups)
10.5 ounces condensed cream of chicken soup (undiluted; substitute with cream of mushroom or celery if preferred)
0.75 cup sour cream (Brings creaminess and tang.)
10 large flour tortillas, cut in half (Warm slightly to prevent cracking.)
2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded (Melts smoothly.)
1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded (Adds a gentle kick.)
0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
1 whole lime (Brightens the whole casserole.)

Instructions

Cook ground beef with chopped onions and taco seasoning until browned.
Mix in refried beans, cream of chicken soup, and sour cream until well combined.
Spread mixture into a baking dish and top with shredded cheeses.
Arrange halved tortillas over the cheese and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and squeeze lime juice over the casserole before serving.

Notes

For a spicier version, add jalapeños or hot sauce.
