Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 piece Small onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 1 15-ounce can Canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 15-ounce can Canned corn, drained
• 6 pieces Flour tortillas, 8-inch
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cups Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Salsa
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch round baking dish or pie dish.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up into small pieces with a spatula, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 6

Place one tortilla at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Spread a layer of the meat mixture over it, followed by a sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, and a spoonful of salsa.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process (tortilla, meat mixture, cheeses, salsa) until all tortillas have been used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 10

Remove the tortilla pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve with sour cream on the side.
