Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
  • 1 can (10 oz) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 6 small corn tortillas, cut into strips
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  3. Add chopped onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and salsa. Cook for 5 more minutes.
