Time 1h5m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 pounds ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 can (4 ounce size) black olives, sliced (reserve some for garnish)

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Corn or flour tortillas can be used, but corn tortillas are more traditional. Make sure the tortillas are fresh and pliable, so they don't crack when you roll them up.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is key to a great burrito lasagna. Use a sauce that is packed with flavor, such as a spicy enchilada sauce or a creamy tomatillo sauce.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas: When you're rolling up the burritos, don't overfill them. Too much filling will make them difficult to roll and eat.
  • Cook the burritos until they're golden brown: Cook the burritos in a greased baking dish until they're golden brown and crispy. This will help to hold them together and give them a delicious flavor.
  • Serve with your favorite toppings: Burrito lasagna is delicious served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and cheese.
