Description
A layered bake of seasoned ground beef, enchilada sauce, corn tortillas, and cheese that is perfect for busy weeknight dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cook the ground beef with chopped onion and minced garlic over medium heat until browned, about 6–8 minutes; drain excess fat.
- Stir in red enchilada sauce, cumin, salt, and pepper, simmering for 2–3 minutes.
- Layer 3 corn tortillas, half the beef mixture, half the corn, and half the cheese in a baking dish.
- Repeat the layers, finishing with cheese on top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes
Warm the tortillas slightly before layering to avoid cracking. Season to taste after adding sauce, as canned enchilada sauce varies.
