Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
- 15 oz Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
- 6 small Flour tortillas
- 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and black beans to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.
In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture (about 1/4 of it) on the bottom.
Place two flour tortillas over the beef mixture, overlapping slightly if needed.
Spread 1/3 of the sour cream over the tortillas, then sprinkle about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese on top.
Repeat the layering process (beef mixture, tortillas, sour cream, cheese) two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on the very top.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.
Let the Taco Bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
