Casseroles are something I never really think of when planning out our dinners for the week. It’s a shame because they’re so easy to throw together and the leftovers are perfect for the following days lunch!

However, the other day I was craving something spicy and full of flavor but that wasn’t smothered in sauce. This Burrito Casserole was perfect! It’s loaded with all sorts of delicious veggies and topped with cheese, tomato, green onions and cilantro.
