PREPARATION:
1. Brown the Ground Beef (or Plant-Based Alternative):
– In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the ground beef. Cook and break it apart with a spatula until browned. If you’re using plant-based meat, follow the package instructions to cook it until it’s nicely browned and seasoned.
2. Add the Aromatics:
– Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and diced bell pepper to the skillet with the cooked meat. Sauté until the vegetables become tender, usually around 5-7 minutes.
3. Spice It Up:
– Stir in the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let the spices meld with the meat and veggies for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Combine with Beans and Corn:
– Add the drained black beans and corn kernels to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, allowing everything to heat through.
5. Assemble the Casserole:
– Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). And in a greased 9×13-inch baking dish, start assembling the casserole. Begin with a layer of 6 corn tortillas, slightly overlapping them to cover the bottom of the dish.
6. Layer and Repeat:
– Spoon half of the meat and vegetable mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a cup of shredded cheese all over the top.
– Layer another 6 tortillas on top, and repeat the process with the remaining meat and vegetable mixture and another cup of cheese.
