Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chiles (Rotel)
• 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 12 small corn tortillas, cut into quarters
• 1 medium jalapeño, sliced (optional)
• 2 tbsp cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 3

Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chiles, black beans, and frozen corn. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, letting the flavors combine. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread a thin layer of the beef mixture on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with an even layer of corn tortilla quarters, overlapping slightly as needed.

Step 6

Spread half of the remaining beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by half of the sour cream (spread with a spoon) and 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with another layer of tortilla quarters, the remaining beef mixture, the rest of the sour cream, and 1 cup of cheese.

Step 8

Top with sliced jalapeño, if desired, for an extra kick of heat.

Step 9

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 10

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
