Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel), undrained
• 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
• 5 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 3 stalks green onions, sliced
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until fully browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks (about 5-7 minutes).

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until the onions are softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Cut each flour tortilla in half, creating 10 half-moons. Arrange 5 halves (flat edge against the dish) to cover the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Layer 5 more tortilla halves over the cheese, followed by the remaining beef mixture and another 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 9

Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5-7 minutes. Dollop sour cream over the top and sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.

Step 10

Slice and serve warm with your favorite toppings like salsa, guacamole, or extra sour cream.
