Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 medium white onion
- 1 1/2 pounds ground beef
- 1 (7 ounce can) diced green chiles
- 1 tablespoon ground cumin
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 (14.5 ounces) black beans rinsed and drained
- 2 cups salsa divided
- 2 cups corn kernels divided
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Dice 1 medium white onion.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons salted butter. Add in the diced onion and cook until softened and lightly browned, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add 1 1/2 pounds ground beef, 1 (7 ounce can) diced green chiles, 1 tablespoon ground cumin, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons chili powder, and 2 teaspoons garlic powder. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is browned and fully cooked, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
- In a medium skillet over medium heat, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon olive oil. Working one at a time, brown 12 (6 inch) corn tortillas, adding more oil as needed, until lightly golden, about 1 minute per side. Once all are browned, cut them in half.
- Arrange half of the tortilla halves in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese. Spread half of the ground beef mixture over the cheese.
- Evenly layer the drained 1 (14.5 ounces) black beans over the beef. Spoon 1 cup salsa over the beans. Arrange the remaining tortilla halves on top.
- Spread the remaining ground beef mixture over the tortillas. Spoon 2 cups corn kernels evenly on top, followed by the remaining 1 cup salsa. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for 25 to 30 minutes, until bubbly and the cheese is golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Add toppings as desired.
