Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 2 tbsp taco seasoning
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 1 cup thick salsa
  • 8 to 10 small flour tortillas (6-inch)
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

Method
 

  1. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Cook onion for 4 minutes, add garlic for 30 seconds, then brown the ground beef for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat if needed.
  2. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and salsa. Simmer on low for 5 minutes until saucy.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread a thin layer of meat mixture in a 9x13-inch dish. Layer tortillas, half the meat, ⅔ cup cheese, then repeat. Top with final tortillas and remaining cheese, pressing down gently.
  4. Cover with foil and bake 15 minutes. Uncover and bake 10 to 12 minutes more until bubbly and golden. Rest 5 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Let the casserole rest a full 5 minutes before cutting so the slices hold their shape. If you like a little heat, add pickled jalapeños to the layers.
