Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking for 2-3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix the sour cream and 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese until well combined.

Step 6

Place a layer of 4 corn tortillas in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, overlapping as needed.

Step 7

Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas, then spread half of the sour cream mixture on top of the beef.

Step 8

Repeat the layers with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and sour cream mixture.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese and the Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped green onions and optional jalapeño slices.

Step 12

Serve warm and enjoy your Taco Surprise Casserole!
