Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 Yellow onion, chopped
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 package Taco seasoning mix
- 0.67 cup Water
- 14.5 ounces Canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 15 ounces Black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Frozen corn, thawed
- 4 8-inch Flour tortillas
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Sliced black olives
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 cup Chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray or oil.
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the chopped onion and minced garlic until the beef is browned and the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning mix and water. Simmer for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Add the canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and corn to the beef mixture. Stir to combine and heat through, about another 2-3 minutes.
Place two tortillas at the bottom of the prepared baking dish to cover the base.
Spread half of the beef mixture over the tortillas, and sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layering with the remaining two tortillas, rest of the beef mixture, and another cup of cheese.
Sprinkle sliced black olives and chopped green onions over the top layer of cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
