Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). This step ensures that your casserole will cook evenly, giving it a tremendous finish.
-
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned. Remember to drain any excess fat to keep the dish from becoming greasy.
-
Stir in the black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes. This mixture will be the heart of your casserole, making every bite tremendous.
-
Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. This not only prevents the tortillas from sticking but also adds flavor to the base of the casserole.
-
Layer 2 tortillas on top of the sauce, followed by half the beef mixture, and half the cheese. The layering process is vital; it creates a beautiful structure that will hold the casserole together.
-
Repeat the layers, finishing with the remaining tortillas and enchilada sauce on top.
-
Top with the remaining cheese. The cheese will melt beautifully, creating that wonderful gooey layer we all crave.
-
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes. This helps cook all the ingredients together and keeps everything moist.
-
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden. This step gives the casserole that beautiful, appetizing appeal.
-
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This allows the layers to set, making it easier to cut and serve portions.
