Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 packet taco seasoning
• 0.5 cup water
• 0.5 cup, diced onion
• 1 cup salsa
• 1 15 oz can, drained and rinsed canned black beans
• 1 15 oz can, drained canned corn
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 6 small flour tortillas
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well. Simmer for 2 minutes until the seasoning is evenly distributed and slightly thickened.

Step 5

Add the salsa, black beans, and corn to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 6

Cut the tortillas into quarters to make layering easier.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer tortilla quarters on top to cover the mixture.

Step 8

Add another layer of the meat mixture, followed by a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat layering until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a generous layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
