Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning mix
• 1 can (10 ounces) Diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 7-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the taco seasoning mix and cook for 1 more minute to combine.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked beef mixture to the crock pot. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 4

Layer 2 small flour tortillas over the beef mixture in the crock pot, tearing them as needed to fit.

Step 5

Sprinkle 1/3 of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese over the tortillas.

Step 6

Repeat the layers (taco mixture, tortillas, and cheese) two more times, finishing with a top layer of cheese.

Step 7

Cover the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours or until the casserole is hot and bubbly.

Step 8

Once cooked, let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve with optional toppings like sour cream, black olives, and chopped cilantro, as desired.
