Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef browned
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 1 can corn
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 8 ounces shredded cheese any variety
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 6-12 tortillas corn or flour
  • 8 ounces enchilada sauce divided, 2 tablespoons

Toppings of your choice

    Instructions

    • Brown ground beef and preheat oven to 375 degrees. Add in the black beans, corn, seasonings and all of the enchilada sauce (reserve 2 tablespoons of sauce).
    • Place 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a baking dish. Add tortillas shells. (I only needed 2 tortillas per layer but if you are using a larger dish you will need more).
      Spread refried beans onto tortillas. Add a layer of the ground beef mixture. Sprinkle with cheese. Repeat the process until you have used the ingredients and the top is covered in cheese.
    • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
    • Add your favorite toppings and serve. Enjoy!

    Notes

    Omit beans and corn if you don't want them. Also, add your favorite toppings, such as: lettuce, tomatoes, jalapenos, guacamole, or sour cream.
