Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
- 6 flour tortillas, 8-inch
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (for garnish)
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes.
Stir in ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add black beans, thawed corn, and 1 cup of enchilada sauce. Mix the ingredients together and let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly on the bottom.
Place two flour tortillas over the sauce, overlapping slightly to cover the bottom of the dish.
Spread 1/3 of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process (tortillas, meat mixture, cheese) two more times, finishing with a final layer of shredded cheese on top.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top layer, ensuring it covers the edges to keep the dish moist.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and slightly golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, a dollop of sour cream, and sliced jalapeños if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
