Time 45m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 15

cooking spray
1 pound ground beef
½ cup chopped onion
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro (such as RO*TEL®)
1 (8.75 ounce) can whole kernel sweet corn, drained
1 (4.5 ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Stir tomato sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro, corn, and chopped green chiles into the ground beef mixture; season with chili powder, cumin, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low and cook mixture at a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Spread about 1/2 cup beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with 3 tortillas, overlapping as needed. Spread another 1/2 cup beef mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over beef. Finish with layers of remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and Cheddar cheese, respectively.
  • Bake in preheated oven until heated throughout and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.

This casserole was a bit too spicy for my taste. I think I would have enjoyed it more with milder salsa.

This casserole was a bit dry. I think I would have added more salsa or sour cream.
