Ingredients
- 18 pieces Frozen taquitos (chicken, beef, or vegetarian)
- 2 cups Red enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 cup Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup Canned corn, drained
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil.
Step 2
Arrange the frozen taquitos in a single layer in the prepared baking dish, ensuring they are packed snugly but not overlapping.
Step 3
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the taquitos, ensuring all are covered to prevent them from drying out during baking.
Step 4
Sprinkle the black beans and corn evenly over the sauced taquitos to add depth and texture to the casserole.
Step 5
Top the casserole with the shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese, making sure the entire surface is covered with an even layer of cheese.
Step 6
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and lightly golden around the edges.
Step 7
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Top with sour cream, diced avocado, sliced green onions, and chopped cilantro, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy! This casserole pairs well with a simple side salad or a scoop of Mexican rice.
