Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 10-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 6 small flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
• 0.25 cup sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 3

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it into crumbles with a spoon. Drain any excess grease, if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies (including their juices), and frozen corn. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In the prepared casserole dish, layer 2 small flour tortillas, cutting them as needed to cover the bottom of the dish completely.

Step 6

Spread one-third of the beef and bean mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle a layer of shredded cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese over the mixture.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Optionally, top with sour cream, sliced green onions, and freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 10

Slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your Darthlaurie’s Taco Casserole with Black Beans!
