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 4 minutes.
Step 3. Add Ground Beef and cook, breaking it up, until browned with no pink inside, about 6 minutes. Spoon off excess fat if needed.
Step 4. Stir in Taco Seasoning, Black Beans, Salsa and Salt. Simmer over medium heat until hot and slightly thickened, about 3 minutes.
Step 5. Spread a little filling in the baking dish. Layer a third of the Tortilla, a third of the remaining filling and a third of the Cheddar Cheese; repeat twice, ending with cheese.
Step 6. Bake until the cheese melts and the filling bubbles at the edges, about 15 minutes.

Finish & serve

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

Tips

Swap it

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

Good to know

Ground beef is safe when its center reaches 160°F on an instant-read thermometer.

Leftovers

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and reheat within 3 to 4 days.
