Layered Enchilada Casserole

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn kernels, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (10 oz) green enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 10-12 corn tortillas
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced olives, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, sour cream, sliced avocado

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Meat Filling:
    • In a skillet, cook the ground beef or turkey over medium heat until browned.
    • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and cook until the onion is softened.
    • Stir in the black beans, corn, and diced green chilies.
    • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
    • Simmer for 5-7 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  2. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
    • Place a layer of corn tortillas on top of the meat mixture, tearing them into smaller pieces to cover any gaps.
    • Spoon a portion of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with shredded cheese.
    • Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
  3. Bake the Casserole:
    • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  4. Serve and Garnish:
    • Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before serving.
    • Serve with your favorite toppings, such as sliced olives, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, sour cream, or sliced avocado.
