Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium, diced Yellow onion
• 2 minced Garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp Taco seasoning
• 1 15-ounce can Diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1.5 cups Enchilada sauce
• 6 medium Flour tortillas
• 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed Black beans
• 1 cup Frozen corn
• 2 cups Shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup, chopped (optional) Fresh cilantro
• 1 cup (optional, for serving) Sour cream

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the vegetable oil and ground beef. Cook until the beef is browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for another 2-3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for 1 additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Mix in the diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juices) and lower the heat. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 5

Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Place two tortillas to cover the bottom of the dish (you may tear and overlap them as needed). Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the black beans, 1/3 of the corn, and 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Drizzle with 1/3 cup of enchilada sauce.

Step 7

Repeat the process to create two more layers, finishing with tortillas on top. Spread the remaining enchilada sauce over the top layer and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm with sour cream on the side.
