I meant to make burritos one night but I was in a hurry, so I layered everything together in a casserole dish to save time. The result was this Mexican layered casserole and a yummy go-to dish that is easily customizable for things I usually have on hand. You could add chicken or beef if you'd like, but we eat it as-is!
