Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 packet taco seasoning packet
• 0.5 cup water
• 28 ounces enchilada sauce (red or green)
• 12 corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 0 optional sour cream (for serving)
• 0 optional chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)
• 0 optional sliced jalapeños (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until it is browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Combine well and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce (about 1/2 cup) across the bottom of the greased casserole dish.

Step 6

Layer 4 corn tortillas over the sauce, slightly overlapping to cover the base of the dish.

Step 7

Spread half of the ground beef mixture evenly over the tortillas. Layer half of the black beans, half of the corn, and another 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on top. Sprinkle with 2/3 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process: add another layer of 4 tortillas, the remaining beef mixture, the rest of the black beans and corn, 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce, and another 2/3 cup of cheese.

Step 9

Finish the casserole with a final layer of 4 tortillas. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese to cover.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 13

Optionally, garnish with fresh cilantro, sliced jalapeños, and serve with sour cream on the side.
