Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the beef, onion, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and salt, breaking apart the meat, until browned and the onion is soft, about 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the black beans and green chiles.
- Spread 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in a 9x13 baking dish. Layer one third of the tortilla quarters, half the beef mixture, one third of the cheese, and another 1/2 cup sauce. Repeat with a second layer of tortillas, the remaining beef, another third of cheese, and more sauce. Top with the last of the tortillas, the remaining sauce, and the rest of the cheese.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until bubbling and the cheese is melted. For a browned top, broil the last 2 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes after baking.
- Slice into 6 squares. Top with cilantro, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime if you like, and serve hot.
Notes
If your ground beef releases a lot of fat, drain it after browning so the casserole does not turn greasy. Assemble the casserole a day ahead and refrigerate, then bake straight from the fridge adding 5 to 10 extra minutes.
