Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning (gluten-free)
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup frozen corn
• 6 small gluten-free tortillas, cut into strips
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon as it cooks.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and garlic to the skillet with the ground beef. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the gluten-free taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes, and frozen corn. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.

Step 5

Layer one-third of the tortilla strips evenly on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Spread half of the beef mixture over the tortilla strips, then sprinkle 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat the layering with another one-third of the tortillas, the remaining beef mixture, and 1 cup of cheese.

Step 8

Finish with the remaining one-third of the tortilla strips on top. Sprinkle with any remaining cheese if desired.

Step 9

Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Garnish with sour cream and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
