Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces enchilada sauce
• 10 ounces diced tomatoes with green chiles (e.g., Rotel)
• 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 8 pieces flour or corn tortillas, cut into quarters
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional garnish)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional topping)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet and sauté for 3 minutes until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant. Drain any excess grease from the skillet.

Step 3

Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, frozen corn, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Mix until well combined and remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 4

Spray the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray.

Step 5

Place a layer of tortilla quarters at the bottom of the slow cooker to completely cover the base.

Step 6

Spread a third of the meat mixture evenly over the tortillas and sprinkle a third of the shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Repeat the layers (tortillas, meat mixture, cheese) two more times, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 8

Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 4-5 hours or HIGH for 2-3 hours until hot and bubbly.

Step 9

Carefully remove the lid, allowing the casserole to cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
