Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef (85% lean)
6 to 8 medium flour tortillas
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 ½ cups salsa (mild or spicy)
1 packet taco seasoning mix or 2 tablespoons homemade taco seasoning
1 can black beans (15 oz, drained and rinsed)
1 cup corn (optional)
½ cup chopped green onions (optional)
Optional Toppings:
Diced tomatoes

Fresh cilantro
Olives
Avocado or guacamole
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C)
In a large bowl, combine raw ground beef with taco seasoning and half of the salsa
Stir in black beans and corn until evenly mixed
Spread a thin layer of salsa at the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish
Layer two tortillas, overlapping slightly, to cover the bottom
Add a portion of the beef mixture, spread evenly
Add a layer of sour cream, spreading gently
Sprinkle a generous handful of cheddar and mozzarella cheese
Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a cheese layer
Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes
Remove foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden
Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving
Notes
Use thick salsa to avoid soggy layers
Add extra taco seasoning if you prefer bolder flavors
This dish freezes well—assemble ahead and bake when needed
