Ingredients
1 lb ground beef (or ground turkey)
1 small onion, diced
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can (10 oz) Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
1 can (10.5 oz) cream of chicken soup (or cream of mushroom for variation)
1 cup sour cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend), divided
8–10 small flour or corn tortillas, cut into halves or quarters
Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, jalapeños, salsa
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onion until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning, Rotel, black beans, and corn. Cook for 2–3 minutes.
In a bowl, mix cream of chicken soup, sour cream, and 1 cup cheese.
Layer tortillas on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then half of the creamy cheese mixture. Repeat layers.
Top with remaining cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Serve hot with optional toppings.
Notes
Use shredded chicken instead of beef for a lighter version.
Add sliced jalapeños for extra spice.
Great make-ahead dish—assemble, refrigerate, and bake when ready.
