Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce
  • 8 small flour tortillas, cut into halves
  • 3 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Fresh cilantro, sour cream, and sliced jalapeños for serving

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add beef and onion, cooking until browned, about 8 minutes. Drain excess liquid.
  2. Stir in garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add taco seasoning, beans, corn, and enchilada sauce. Simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 dish, layer half of the tortillas, half the beef mixture, and 1 cup cheese. Repeat layers, ending with tortillas and the remaining cheese on top.
  4. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
  5. Rest 5 minutes, then slice into squares and serve with cilantro, sour cream, and jalapeños.

Notes

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking so it slices cleanly. For extra crunch, place the dish under the broiler for the last 1 to 2 minutes of baking. You can assemble the casserole up to a day ahead and refrigerate, then add about 5 minutes to the bake time.
