Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.
Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, frozen corn, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place 2 flour tortillas on the bottom, overlapping them as needed.
Spread one-third of the meat mixture over the tortillas, followed by one-third of the shredded cheese. Dollop a portion of the sour cream on top and spread it out gently.
Repeat the layers (tortillas, meat mixture, cheese, sour cream) two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Optionally, serve with extra sour cream, salsa, or avocados on the side.
