Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 1 medium Yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 packet Taco seasoning
• 1 14.5-ounce can Fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with juices)
• 1 15-ounce can Black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup Frozen corn kernels
• 6 small Flour tortillas, cut into strips
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 1 whole Sliced avocado or guacamole (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it into crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until the onion softens.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning and mix well to coat the beef mixture evenly.

Step 4

Transfer the beef mixture to the crockery pot. Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with their juices), black beans, and frozen corn. Stir to combine.

Step 5

Layer half of the tortilla strips over the beef mixture, followed by half of the cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese.

Step 6

Repeat the layering process with the remaining tortilla strips and cheeses, ensuring the cheese is the topmost layer.

Step 7

Cover the crockery pot with its lid and cook on LOW for 3 hours, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the flavors are well combined.

Step 8

Once done, remove the crockery pot lid and let the casserole sit for 5 minutes to set slightly.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh cilantro, if desired. Serve warm with sour cream, sliced avocado or guacamole.
