Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 packet taco seasoning mix
- 1 can black beans
- 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can corn kernels
- 6 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans (rinsed and drained), diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), and corn (drained). Cook for 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Place two tortillas on the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly.
Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat this process two more times, creating three layers, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.
