Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 units garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 cup tomato sauce
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) corn, drained
• 5 large flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional)
• 0.25 cup sliced jalapeños (optional)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spatula as it cooks. Drain any excess grease.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, tomato sauce, black beans, and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld together, then remove from heat.

Step 6

In a greased 9x13-inch casserole dish, start layering the ingredients. Begin with a thin layer of the beef mixture at the bottom.

Step 7

Add one flour tortilla as the next layer, trimming as needed to fit the dish. Spread more of the beef mixture over the tortilla, followed by a layer of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process—beef mixture, tortilla, cheese—until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

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

Step 10

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

Step 11

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 12

Top with sour cream, sliced jalapeños, and chopped cilantro, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
