Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (undrained)
• 1 15-ounce can canned black beans (rinsed and drained)
• 1 15-ounce can canned corn (drained)
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon until fully browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and taco seasoning, cooking for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Mix in the canned diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, and corn. Reduce heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes. Set aside.

Step 6

Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a little olive oil.

Step 7

Place two tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly to cover the base.

Step 8

Spread one-third of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle one cup of the shredded cheese on top.

Step 9

Repeat the layers (tortillas, beef mixture, cheese) two more times, ending with a generous cheese layer on top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and slightly golden.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and allow the lasagna to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 13

Serve warm, topped with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.
