Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 packet taco seasoning, divided
  • 1 15-ounce can black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 15-ounce can whole kernel corn, drained & rinsed
  • 2 4.25-ounce cans green chiles
  • 2 4.25-ounce cans sliced black olives, drained
  • 6 6-inch flour tortillas
  • 1 15-ounce can fire roasted tomatoes
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese
Directions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  2. Add the ground beef to a large skillet over medium heat, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon. Add in ½ of the taco seasoning, stir, and continue to cook until the beef is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
  3. In a large bowl, add the black beans, corn, green chiles, black olives, and remaining taco seasoning. Stir to combine.
  4. In a 9x13-inch baking dish, lay 2 flour tortillas side by side. Pour ½ of the seasoned ground beef in an even layer on top of the tortillas, followed by ½ of the fire roasted tomatoes. Layer with ½ of the bean and corn mixture, then ½ of the shredded cheese.
  5. Repeat with another layer of tortillas, beef, tomatoes, and bean and corn mixture, finishing with a final layer of tortillas and cheese.
  6. Bake the casserole for 15 minutes, until the taco bake is warmed through and the cheese is melted.
