Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the oil in a large pan, then add the onion and jalapeno peppers. Cook for 5 minutes to soften.
- Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until the garlic becomes fragrant.
- Add the ground beef and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Cook for 7-8 minutes, or until the meat is browned and cooked mostly through.
- Stir in the seasonings, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans and corn. Simmer for 5 minutes to let the flavors develop. You can simmer longer if you'd like. I like to simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
- Spread half of the meat mixture to the bottom of a 9x13 casserole dish.
- Top evenly with 6 corn tortillas, then half the shredded cheese.
- Spoon the remainder of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then top with the remaining tortillas, then shredded cheese.
- Bake the casserole for 15 minutes, or until the cheeses are nicely melted.
- Top with your favorite toppings and serve.
Notes
- For even more of a twist, use cooked lasagna noodles in place of the corn tortillas. So good this way, too!
