Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • 9x9 baking dish
  • Wooden spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and lightly grease a 9x9 baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef with the diced onion until the meat is browned and the onion is soft. Drain any excess fat.
  • Stir in the garlic, chili powder, and cumin. Cook for one minute until fragrant.
  • Add the black beans and salsa to the skillet. Stir everything together and let it simmer for two minutes to thicken slightly.
  • Place one tortilla in the bottom of the baking dish. Spread one third of the beef mixture over it and sprinkle with one third of the cheese. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with a final tortilla and the remaining cheese on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and the edges are lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for five minutes. Slice into portions and serve with sour cream and sliced green onions.

Notes

For extra flavor, warm the tortillas briefly in the microwave before layering so they roll and stack more easily. Leftovers reheat well in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes to keep the cheese melty and the edges crisp. If you want more spice, swap half the salsa for a hotter variety or add a pinch of cayenne to the beef while it cooks.
