Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef

- 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 12 corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked. Drain any excess fat.
- Add the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and taco seasoning to the skillet with the beef. Stir well to combine and heat through for about 5 minutes.
- In a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, start layering the casserole. Begin with a layer of tortillas, followed by half of the beef mixture, half of the sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with a final layer of tortillas on top and the remaining cheese.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Once baked, let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro, if desired.
