  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Meat and Seasoning

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 (1 ounce) package taco seasoning
  • 1 (10 ounce) can of tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

Beans and Vegetables

  • 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed

Dairy

  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Other

  • 10-12 corn tortillas
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350°F to prepare for baking the casserole.
  2. Cook Meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef or turkey until fully cooked. Drain any excess grease to keep the dish from being too oily.
  3. Add Seasoning and Tomatoes: Stir in the undrained tomatoes with green chilies and the taco seasoning, mixing well until the seasoning dissolves.
  4. Simmer Mixture: Let the meat mixture simmer until all liquid evaporates, about 6 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Prepare Beans and Corn: Drain and rinse the black beans and corn thoroughly. Open the can of refried beans and set aside.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  7. Layer Tortillas: Begin the casserole by laying down 4-6 corn tortillas as the base layer, depending on the size of the dish.
  8. Add Fillings: Layer in the following order: refried beans, taco meat mixture, corn, black beans, sour cream, then shredded cheddar cheese.
  9. Repeat Layers: Continue layering tortillas and fillings until all ingredients are used up.
  10. Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes until heated through and cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Top with your favorite garnishes such as avocado slices, diced tomatoes, and fresh cilantro.

Notes

  • You can substitute ground turkey for ground beef to reduce fat content.
  • For a spicier dish, add chopped jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the meat mixture.
  • Use flour tortillas if corn tortillas are not available, but corn tortillas offer a more authentic flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • Consider serving with a side of Mexican rice or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
