Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 medium, diced yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 packet (or 2 tablespoons homemade) taco seasoning
- 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 can (15 ounces), drained and rinsed black beans
- 1 cup frozen corn kernels
- 3 pieces large flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup sliced black olives
- 0.25 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the onion softens and becomes translucent.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish. Place one flour tortilla into the bottom of the dish, pressing it gently to create a base. Tear apart the second tortilla and use the pieces to line the edges of the dish, overlapping slightly to form a complete crust.
Spoon half of the meat mixture into the tortilla-lined dish. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the layer.
Add the remaining meat mixture on top and then cover with the third tortilla. Press down gently to compact the layers.
Spread the sour cream evenly over the top tortilla. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the sour cream.
Garnish with sliced black olives and green onions.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
Let the pie rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
