Ingredients
 

Burrito Filling

  • 2 lbs. lean ground beef
  • 2 tsp. cumin
  • 2 tsp. onion powder
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, softened may substitute low fat cream cheese, if desired
  • 14 oz. can diced tomatoes and green chilies well drained
  • 10 oz. can green enchilada sauce
  • 15 oz. can black beans well drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn thawed (can use canned and drained corn, if desired)

Burrito Topping

  • 10 oz. can green enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 10 oz. can cream of chicken soup I use Campbell's brand
  • 1 Tbs. dry Ranch dressing mix
  • 12 8-inch flour tortillas
  • 1-2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a skillet over medium high heat, brown the ground beef with the cumin and onion powder; cook until the beef is fully cooked throughout and no pink remains; drain any fats that accumulate. Season beef to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Reduce the heat to medium, then add the cream cheese, stirring until the cream cheese is softened and incorporated. Add 1 can enchilada sauce, the drained diced tomatoes and green chilies, black beans, and corn to the ground beef mixture, gently stirring until all ingredients are combined; reserve and keep warm.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, enchilada sauce, cream of chicken soup, and dry Ranch dressing mix until smooth; spread one-third of this mixture evenly across the bottom of a greased 9 x 13 pan.
  • Meanwhile, warm the flour tortillas a bit, a few at a time in the microwave. Fill each tortilla with the prepared ground beef mixture, dividing it evenly between each burrito; place each one side-by-side into the sour cream mixture in the 9x13 pan.
  • Spread the remaining two-thirds of the prepared sour cream mixture over the burritos; cover the pan with foil. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes; remove the foil, top with cheese and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes or until hot throughout and the cheese is bubbly on top. Let the burritos rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
