Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 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
• 6 small flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1 cup sour cream
• 0.25 cup cilantro, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with non-stick spray or a bit of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it up with a wooden spoon. Cook until browned and fully cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.

Step 5

Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and frozen corn. Simmer the mixture for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to blend the flavors.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of the beef and bean mixture over the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Place two small flour tortillas on top of the meat mixture, overlapping them as needed to cover the surface.

Step 8

Spread 1/3 of the sour cream over the tortillas, followed by 1/3 of the shredded cheese, then 1/3 of the remaining beef and bean mixture.

Step 9

Repeat the layering process two more times, ending with the remaining shredded cheese on top to create a cheesy crust.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired and serve warm. Enjoy!
