Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ cup onion chopped
- 3 tablespoon taco seasoning
- ¼ cup water
- 15 oz black beans drained and rinsed
- 12 flour tortillas
- 1 cup Pico de Gallo
- 1 cup salsa can use salsa verde/enchilada sauce if desired
- 3 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- Cut 9 flour tortillas in half, leaving 3 whole tortillas. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and onion until the beef is no longer pink. Drain the excess grease.
- Stir in the taco seasoning and water. Continue cooking until the liquid is absorbed, then stir in the black beans and remove from heat.
- Arrange 6 tortilla halves around the bottom of the baking dish with 1 whole tortilla in the center, covering the bottom completely.
- Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas. Top with half of the Pico de Gallo, half of the salsa, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Add another tortilla layer, followed by the remaining meat mixture, Pico de Gallo, salsa, and 1 cup shredded cheese.
- Add the final layer of tortillas and sprinkle the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese on top.
- Bake uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite taco toppings and serve.
Notes
- Drain the ground beef and black beans well to prevent excess liquid in the casserole.
- If the salsa or Pico de Gallo is watery, drain off excess liquid before assembling.
- Ground turkey or ground chicken can be used in place of ground beef.
- Corn tortillas can be substituted for flour tortillas if desired.
- Let the casserole rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing so the layers have time to set.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
