Taco Casserole

Ingredients:

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
2. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir to combine. Cook for about 30 seconds.
3. Add the ground beef and cook, breaking apart as it cooks, until completely cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add the packet of taco seasoning and stir to combine and coat the beef. Add ¾ of the black beans (reserve ¼ for topping), 1 ½ cups of the chopped tomatoes (reserve ½ cup for topping), and the corn. Stir to combine then remove from the heat.
5. Slice 9 of the tortillas in half.
6. Spread a small amount of the meat mixture on the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Top with a layer of tortillas; use 6 half tortillas to line the perimeter and place 2 round/uncut tortilla in the center. Sprinkle 1/3 of the Monterey jack and cheddar cheese over the tortillas, then add 1/3 of the meat mixture. Repeat with another layer: tortillas, cheese, then meat. The 3rd and final layer should be tortillas, then the remaining meat mixture. Top with the crushed corn chips then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top. Add the reserved black beans over the top.
7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is warmed through.
8. Sprinkle the remaining cherry tomatoes over the top. Garnish with green onions.
9. Serve warm with sour cream. Enjoy!
