Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic about 2 cloves
  • ¼ cup taco seasoning 2 packets
  • ½ cup water
  • 14.5 ounces fire-roasted diced tomatoes do not drain
  • 4 ounces green chiles 1 can
  • 15 ounces black beans 1 can, drained and rinsed
  • 18 corn tortillas divided
  • 6 cups shredded jack and cheddar cheese divided
  • 1 medium tomato 1-2 tomatoes, diced for garnish
  • 1 bunch green onions sliced for garnish
  • Sour cream for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 more minutes.
  • Stir in the taco seasoning and water, mixing well, and let it simmer over medium heat. Add the fire-roasted diced tomatoes (with their juices), green chiles, and black beans. Stir to combine and heat through.
  • In the prepared casserole dish, layer 6 corn tortillas on the bottom, overlapping them slightly. Spread 1/3 of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle 2 cups of cheese on top.
  • Repeat the layering process, using more tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese for a total of three layers.
  • Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until it’s bubbly and the cheese is melted.
  • Once baked, garnish with diced tomatoes and sliced green onions. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve with a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
  • Enjoy!
