Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 can (14 ounces) canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
- 1 can (15 ounces) canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup canned corn, drained
- 6 flour tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, approximately 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes (including their juice), black beans, and corn. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Begin assembling the tortilla bake in the prepared baking dish. Start by spreading a thin layer of the beef mixture across the bottom.
Place two flour tortillas over the mixture, overlapping them if necessary to cover the surface.
Spread a third of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle one-third of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the beef mixture.
Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is bubbly and golden.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into portions.
Serve the tortilla bake with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, if desired.
