I just took burrito pie out of the oven.  This is such a family favorite now!  Thanks, Jayne! Hungry

Clover made me do it.

Yesterday I made a hybrid – sour cream enchilada pie. I used the ingredients from Suzanne's recipe, and layered it like this recipe, and it was great that way. I'm much too impatient to fry and role individual enchiladas, so spreading the filling on the bottom and through the layers of tortillas and topping with cheese is something I can actually do. Slices of enchiladas, topped with sour cream and jalepenos, and it was gone in 10 minutes.

I always use black beans instead of olives.  I like it better that way too.

How would it freeze??  I love it but it makes soooo much that if I could freeze half of it, it wouldn't go to waste/waist.

I would think it would freeze well.  There's never any left at my house to freeze……..

Last time I made it, I seriously contemplated using 8x8 dishes and freezing two of them.  There was so much of it I was sure I could fill three of them!

I sliced it into slabs and wrapped them in foil and then in plastic and froze about 2/3 of it.  Looking forward to having it later in the week.

I don't care for the texture of the flour tortillas after they've been frozen…so I freeze the extra meat and bean mixture, and make it "fresh" next time around.  The difference in making it with bakery or homemade tortillas is amazing…and so worth it…if you can find them or have the time!

Thats a great idea Bee … I don't care for the frozen tortillas either … and certainly will not be making fresh one … so i think I will do it that way next time, just freeze the meat mixture.

At least in cassaroles the shape of your tortillas doesnt matter. Cause mine are usually like Texas or Florida, a lot look like Alaska. Not intentional, just cant seem to make a pretty round one like my tiny little mexican mother in law.

I made both flour and corn tortillas and sold them at the farmers' market.  They sell tortillas at Walmart, so I expected people to be familiar with them.  I found I was explaining what they were and how to use them to most of the people who shopped at the market.  Evidently most people don't make Mexican food at home, and they were fascinated that you could make them by hand.  My corn tortillas are round only because I use a tortilla press.  After a few dozen I finally got the flour ones basically round, but I'll never get either as thin as an experienced maker would.

I imagine you could just use a round cake pan to make a mini casserole in and just freeze the meat mixture.  You wouldn't have to use the big pan that way!  The round cake pan would be just about the size of the tortilla wouldn't it?  (I use the big tortillas)
