- 1 packet taco seasoning
- 1 cup water
- 12 pieces corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat. Stir in the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the meat is browned and the onion is translucent.
- Add the taco seasoning and water to the skillet. Simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened, stirring occasionally.
- In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a layer of salsa on the bottom. Place 4 tortillas on top of the salsa, slightly overlapping them.
- Spread half of the meat mixture over the tortillas.
- Sprinkle a third of the cheese over the meat layer.
- Add a layer of black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.
- Add another layer of tortillas and repeat the steps, creating additional layers: meat, cheese, beans, corn, and tomatoes.
- Finish with a layer of tortillas on top and spread sour cream over the entire top layer. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let it cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!
