Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 15 ounces canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup corn kernels, drained (canned or frozen)
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 6 small flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican-blend cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.5 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 2 tablespoons green onion, sliced (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, cooking until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease if needed.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, canned diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, and black beans. Mix thoroughly and let simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In the prepared baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom. Lay two flour tortillas over the mixture to cover the bottom layer.

Step 6

Spread another layer of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layers (tortillas, beef mixture, cheese) until all ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese on top is fully melted and slightly golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the lasagna rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve with sour cream, salsa, chopped fresh cilantro, and green onions for garnish if desired.
