Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 oz) sweet corn, drained
- 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 packet (1 oz) taco seasoning mix
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
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 sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Drain any excess grease if necessary.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Grease a 9-inch pie dish. Place one flour tortilla in the bottom of the dish, pressing it up the sides to form the base of the pie.
Spread a layer of the beef mixture over the tortilla, then sprinkle with a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
Cover the pie 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 bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with sour cream, jalapeños, and cilantro, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy!
