Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 10 oz. can red enchilada sauce
  • 1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
  • 1 10 oz. can diced tomatoes & green chilies (undrained (use mild or hot))
  • 1 15 oz. can black beans (rinsed and drained)
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen corn
  • 12 corn tortillas (torn or cut into bite-size pieces)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (divided (cheddar or Monterey Jack))
  • 1 cup finely crumbled cojita or queso fresco cheese (optional)
  • 3 green onions (sliced (for garnish))

Instruction

  • Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add the ground beef, chopped onion, and salt. Cook and stir until the meat is no longer pink, about 10 minutes.
  • Drain off any grease from the skillet and reduce the heat to low. Stir in the corn tortillas, black beans, and corn. Cover the skillet with a tight fitting lid and cook for about five minutes, stirring often, until the tortillas are soft.
  • Add the diced tomatoes and green chilies, enchilada sauce, and tomato sauce to the meat mixture and mix well. Increase the heat to medium and cook until the mixture is hot and bubbly, about 5 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top and cover with a tight fitting lid. Cook five more minutes or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately topped with crumbled cojita or queso fresco cheese and sliced green onions, if desired.
