Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 6 flour tortillas, cut into strips or quarters
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef or turkey to the skillet and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until fully browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, and corn. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and layer the tortilla strips or quarters over the meat mixture in the skillet.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and cook on low heat for 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Alternatively, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake uncovered for 5-7 minutes to melt the cheese.
Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro, sour cream, and sliced green onions, if desired.
Serve directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation. Enjoy!
