Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 12 small flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • Optional toppings for serving: sour cream, chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, avocado

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch dish. Brown the ground beef in a skillet over medium-high heat, 6 to 8 minutes. Add onion and cook 3 minutes, then garlic for 30 seconds. Drain fat.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning, salsa, beans, corn, and enchilada sauce. Simmer 2 to 3 minutes until hot.
  3. Spread a thin layer of filling in the dish. Layer 4 tortillas, one-third of the filling, and ½ cup cheese. Repeat twice more, ending with tortillas and all remaining cheese on top.
  4. Bake uncovered 25 to 30 minutes until bubbly and golden. Rest 5 minutes, then slice and serve with desired toppings.

Notes

For a spicier version, use hot salsa and add a diced jalapeño to the beef mixture. A dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro are the perfect finishing touch.
