Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of oil or non-stick spray.
In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a spatula, until fully browned and no longer pink, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, chopped chipotle peppers, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes (including their juice). Mix thoroughly and let simmer for 5 minutes to meld flavors.
In the prepared baking dish, begin layering your burrito pie. Start by spreading a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of the dish. Place a tortilla on top, trimming it to fit, if needed.
Spread a layer of sour cream (about 2-3 tablespoons) over the tortilla, followed by a generous sprinkle of shredded cheese. Add another layer of the meat mixture. Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat mixture topped with shredded cheese.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.
For freezer storage (OAMC - Once A Month Cooking), allow the pie to cool completely after baking. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through.
