Ingredients
  

For the Meat Mixture
  • 1 pound Ground Beef Choose 80/20 for juiciness or lean cuts for a healthier option.
  • 1 packet Taco Seasoning Provides essential flavor; consider homemade for a personal touch!
  • 0.5 cup Water
For the Filling
  • 1 can Black Beans Rinse and drain to avoid excess liquid.
  • 1 cup Corn Fresh, canned, or frozen provides sweetness and crunch.
  • 1 can Diced Tomatoes with Green Chiles Can substitute with plain diced tomatoes for a milder flavor.
For the Cheese
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully, enhancing flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese Ideal for that creamy texture.
For the Layers
  • 6 pieces Flour Tortillas Corn tortillas offer a gluten-free alternative.
For Serving
  • 1 cup Sour Cream Adds a creamy finish.
  • 0.25 cup Green Onions Optional garnish.
  • 0.25 cup Cilantro Optional garnish.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess grease, stir in taco seasoning and water, and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes to the skillet. Heat for an additional 2 minutes until warm.
  4. Spread a layer of salsa in the baking dish. Layer tortillas, half of the beef mixture, sour cream, and cheeses. Repeat layers, finishing with a tortilla and cheese on top.
  5. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden.
  6. Let rest for 5 minutes. Serve with sour cream, cilantro, and green onions.
