  • 1 15 ounce can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro (such as RO*TEL®)
  • 1 8.75 ounce can whole kernel sweet corn, drained
  • 1 4.5 ounce can chopped green chiles, drained
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 6 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Step 1
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Step 2
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef and onion in the hot skillet until beef is completely browned, 5 to 7 minutes; drain and discard grease.
  • Step 3
  • Stir tomato sauce, black beans, diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro, corn, and chopped green chiles into the ground beef mixture; season with chili powder, cumin, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Reduce heat to low and cook mixture at a simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Step 4
  • Spread about 1/2 cup beef mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish; top with 3 tortillas, overlapping as needed. Spread another 1/2 cup beef mixture over the tortillas. Sprinkle 1 cup Cheddar cheese over beef. Finish with layers of remaining tortillas, beef mixture, and Cheddar cheese, respectively.
  • Step 5
  • Bake in preheated oven until heated throughout and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving.
