Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, diced onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is soft. Drain excess fat.
  • Add the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, black beans, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Stir and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • In a greased casserole dish, layer 4 corn tortillas, half of the beef mixture, and half of the cheese. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use any preferred type of shredded cheese or even a blend of Mexican cheeses.
  • Add extra heat with jalapeños or spicy enchilada sauce.
  • This casserole freezes well—store leftovers in an airtight container
