Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or ground turkey
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • 1 (10 ounce) can of tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
  • 1 (15 ounce) can corn, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Drain off any grease.
  • Add the undrained tomatoes with green chilies and taco seasoning, stir mixture until seasoning has dissolved.

  • Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans and corn. Set aside. Open refried beans and set aside.
  • Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
  • Begin your casserole with a base layer of corn tortillas (4-6 depending on the size).
  • Then, layer the rest of the ingredients in this order: refried beans, taco meat, corn, black beans, sour cream, then cheese.
  • Repeat, until your fillings are gone.
  • Bake 30 minutes, let cool 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a spicy version, substitute the cheddar for pepper jack cheese.
