Ingredients

• 1 lb Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 10 oz Diced tomatoes with green chilies (e.g., Rotel)
• 15 oz Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Sour cream
• 2 cups Mexican blend shredded cheese
• 6 small Flour tortillas
• 2 tbsp Chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 2 Green onions, sliced (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is browned and the onion is softened, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and black beans to the skillet. Stir well to combine and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

In a 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the beef mixture (about 1/4 of it) on the bottom.

Step 5

Place two flour tortillas over the beef mixture, overlapping slightly if needed.

Step 6

Spread 1/3 of the sour cream over the tortillas, then sprinkle about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process (beef mixture, tortillas, sour cream, cheese) two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on the very top.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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

Step 10

Optional: Garnish with chopped cilantro and sliced green onions before serving.

Step 11

Let the Taco Bake cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
