Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.25 cup water
• 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
• 15 oz canned corn, drained
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 cup sour cream
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 assorted optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, guacamole

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet with the ground beef. Stir to combine and simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened.

Step 4

Turn off the heat and mix in the black beans, canned corn, and salsa. Stir until evenly combined.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Place 2 flour tortillas over the beef mixture, tearing them as necessary to fit the dish in a single layer.

Step 7

Spread half of the sour cream over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded Mexican blend cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients: another layer of the beef mixture, tortillas, sour cream, and cheese, finishing with the remaining cheese on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle the top with chopped green onions and cilantro.

Step 12

Serve warm with optional toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced jalapeños, or guacamole.
