Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies (Rotel or similar)
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 2 cups red enchilada sauce
• 6 pieces flour tortillas (8-inch)
• 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 0.5 cup sliced black olives (optional)
• 2 stalks green onions, sliced (optional for garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for serving)
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it 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. Drain excess grease if necessary.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Stir in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juice), black beans, and frozen corn. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Place two tortillas in the bottom of the dish, overlapping as needed. Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat the layers (enchilada sauce, tortillas, beef mixture, cheese) two more times, finishing with a layer of tortillas topped with the remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

Step 8

If using, sprinkle sliced black olives over the top for added flavor.

Step 9

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the lasagna cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with sliced green onions, fresh cilantro, and sour cream, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
