Method

7 steps Oven 400°F 10 min prep · 30 min cook

Prep

Step 1. Heat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Set out a baking dish.

Cook

Step 2. Heat Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add Onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned with no pink remaining, about 6 minutes. Stir in Taco Seasoning.
Step 4. Stir in Black Beans, most of the Enchilada Sauce and Salt. Simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes.
Step 5. Spread the rest of the Enchilada Sauce in the dish. Layer Tortilla, beef mixture and Monterey Jack Cheese in thirds, overlapping the tortillas and finishing with cheese.
Step 6. Bake until the cheese melts and the edges bubble, about 20 minutes.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Let stand until the layers settle, about 5 minutes, then cut into portions and serve.

Tips

Good to know

Ground beef is safely cooked when it reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.

Swap it

Use pinto beans instead of black beans if that's what you have.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and reheat individual portions within 3 to 4 days.
