Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix
• 1 can black beans
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 can corn kernels
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup chopped fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes, until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning mix, black beans (rinsed and drained), diced tomatoes with green chilies (undrained), and corn (drained). Cook for 3-5 minutes until well combined and heated through.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Place two tortillas on the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly.

Step 6

Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded cheese. Repeat this process two more times, creating three layers, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 7

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 8

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and chopped fresh cilantro for added flavor.
