• 0.25 cup water
• 1 15 oz can canned black beans
• 1 15 oz can canned corn
• 1 10 oz can canned diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 6 medium flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese

• 2 stalks green onions, sliced
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp pepper
• 1 tbsp jalapeños, sliced, optional
• 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped, optional for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the ground beef and cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through.

Step 3

Stir in the taco seasoning, water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the black beans and canned corn. In a small bowl, mix together the black beans, corn, and canned diced tomatoes with green chilies.

Step 5

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 6

Place two tortillas at the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly to fit.

Step 7

Spread 1/3 of the beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the bean-corn-tomato mixture, and 1/3 of the shredded cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 9

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Top with sour cream, sliced green onions, optional jalapeños, and chopped cilantro for garnishing.

Step 13

Slice into squares or scoops and serve hot. Enjoy this fun and festive dish with family or friends!
