Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 2 tablespoons Taco seasoning
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 can (15 ounces) Corn, drained
- 1 can (10 ounces) Rotel (diced tomatoes with green chilies), undrained
- 6 small tortillas Flour tortillas, cut into strips
- 1 medium Onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir the taco seasoning into the ground beef, ensuring it is evenly coated. Remove from heat.
In the crock pot, spread a layer of the ground beef mixture at the bottom.
Layer over the meat with strips of flour tortillas to cover the beef.
Add a layer of black beans, followed by a layer of corn, then a layer of Rotel tomatoes. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of meat on top.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, until everything is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Once cooked, garnish with chopped cilantro if desired, and serve warm.
