Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 8–10 corn tortillas
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 can (15 oz) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté diced onion and minced garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add ground beef, season with cumin, salt, and pepper, and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes. Drain excess fat.
- In a 9×13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom. Layer half of the corn tortillas over the sauce.
- Spread half of the cooked ground beef mixture over the tortillas, followed by half of the black beans, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese. Pour another cup of enchilada sauce over this layer.
- Add another layer of corn tortillas, followed by the remaining ground beef, black beans, diced tomatoes, and another cup of enchilada sauce. Top with the remaining tortillas and finish with the last cup of shredded cheese.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped cilantro, cut into squares, and serve warm.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
- For longer storage, freeze the casserole for up to 2 months.
