Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp taco seasoning
- 1 15 oz can canned diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g. Rotel)
- 1 15 oz can canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 6 pieces flour tortillas (medium size)
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
- 0.25 cup sliced green onions (optional for topping)
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and ground beef (or turkey). Cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well combined and slightly thickened.
Place two tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them to cover the surface.
Spread one-third of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas, followed by one-third of the shredded cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times: tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking 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 is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the tortilla bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
Serve warm, topped with sour cream, green onions, and cilantro, if desired. Enjoy!
