Instructions

Step No.1: Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step No.2: Cook the Beef

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef until browned. Add onion and garlic, cooking until softened. Drain any excess grease.

Step No.3: Add Seasonings and Fillings

Stir in taco seasoning, diced tomatoes with green chilies, black beans, corn, and salsa. Simmer for 5 minutes until combined.

Step No.4: Layer the Casserole

Place a layer of tortilla halves at the bottom of the baking dish. Spread ⅓ of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle ⅓ of the cheese. Repeat the layers two more times.

Step No.5: Bake

Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step No.6: Serve

Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with sour cream and fresh cilantro, and enjoy!

Notes

Tortilla Choice: Use corn tortillas for a firmer texture or flour tortillas for a softer bake.
Make-Ahead Friendly: Assemble ahead and refrigerate. Bake when ready to serve.
Spice Level: Add jalapeños or extra chili powder for heat.
Chicken Taco Casserole: Swap beef for shredded rotisserie chicken.
Vegetarian Taco Casserole: Use black beans, pinto beans, and bell peppers instead of meat.
Low-Carb Version: Replace tortillas with sliced zucchini or cauliflower rice.
Extra Crunch: Top with crushed tortilla chips before baking.
