Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 1 piece Small onion, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 packet Taco seasoning
- 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 15-ounce can Canned corn, drained
- 6 pieces Flour tortillas, 8-inch
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Salsa
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie dish.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined. Remove the skillet from the heat.
Place one tortilla at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a layer of the meat mixture over it, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.
Repeat the layering process (tortilla, meat mixture, cheeses, salsa) until all tortillas have been used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the tortilla pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side.
