Directions:
As you can see with the following recipe, prep time takes only minutes and I created this super quick easy frozen burrito enchilada bake recipe in literally 15 minutes! Believe it or not, it tastes just as good as homemade!
Use your fave frozen burritos (homemade or grocery store-bought). Use the proper size baking dish for how any burritos you are baking. I used a small 8×10-inch casserole dish because it was just 3 of us tonight. If you have more burritos definitely use a 9 x 13 casserole dish.
Pour a large can of Enchilada Sauce on top of the burritos…any kind you like…we like Green Chile Enchilada Sauce, but you can use Red Enchilada Sauce if you like.
Top with your favorite cheese. We used Cheddar Cheese and Monterey Jack Cheese. You can use ANY kind of cheese you like!
Do you cover Frozen Burrito Enchiladas when baking them?
Yes, Cover with aluminum foil. You need to cover the enchiladas to keep the heat in. This way they will cook faster and not get all dried out. Also, you don’t want your cheese to burn. If you like your cheese a little crispy on top you can cook for an additional 5 minutes without the foil.
Cook your burrito bake for 15 minutes in a 425 – 450 degree preheated oven. (I like quick)
If you like you can top with sour cream and homemade or jar salsa. I topped it with my Homemade Chunky Mexican Peach Mango and Pineapple Salsa but you can totally use a jar of salsa..really it’s legal!
Sooo if you have company coming for a luncheon… or it’s a super busy weeknight…this is a really nice, quick and delicious meal!
You can also make this easy frozen enchilada dinner for a freezer meal! Make this easy recipe ahead on a weekend and put back into the freezer until you are ready.
Always store leftovers in an airtight container.

This was easy. They were good!
I found 15″ to bake is NOT enough. I found the inside of the burrito still cold. I baked an additional 10″ before eating.
I’m glad you loved them! So easy. Thanks for letting me know on the time…I may adjust to say 15-15 min as so many ovens vary a little.
Is there one particular brand of frozen burritos that stands out above the others? This isn’t an item I typically buy.
Hi Sheila! When I first started making this easy Frozen Burrito Enchiladas hack, I used Bean, Beef and Cheese frozen burritos because my kids were very picky eaters. Now I like to use Amy’s brand or similar. They are however more expensive. Any kind you pick will be yummy!
Yum! This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing at Works for Me Wednesday!!
