Ingredients

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion chopped
  • 2 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup water more as needed
  • 1 can green chiles (optional)
  • 1 can black beans drained
  • 12 flour tortillas 6-inch
  • 24 ounces salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cup shredded Mexican Cheese Blend

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C) and grease the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook ground beef until browned and completely cooked through, breaking it into small pieces as it cooks. Transfer beef to a bowl and set aside. Discard the remaining grease.
  • In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat, add onion and cook until soft, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add cooked ground beef, taco seasoning, green chiles, and beans. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Add 1-2 Tbsp more water if needed. Remove pan from heat.
  • Use 3 tacos cut in half and 1 whole taco to line the baking dish (see picture above). Spread 1/3 of the salsa on top and then 1/2 of the meat mixture. Drop 1/2 of the sour cream over the meat and spread out with a spatula. Top with 1 cup of cheese. Repeat layers. Top with 4 tortillas, remaining salsa, and cheese.
  • Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
