Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey

- 1 can (15 oz) corn, drained
- 1 jar (16 oz) salsa
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 10 small flour tortillas
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef or turkey until browned. Drain excess fat.
Add taco seasoning, following packet instructions.
Stir in black beans, corn, and half of the salsa. Let it simmer for 5 minutes to blend the flavors.
Spread a thin layer of salsa on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Place two tortillas at the bottom to cover the base.
Add one-third of the meat mixture and a sprinkle of cheese.
Repeat the layers two more times (tortillas, meat, cheese).
For the final layer, top with tortillas, spread sour cream, and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let it rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped green onions and cilantro for freshness.
