Ingredients
* 6 - 6" Flour Tortillas (if you go with "lighter" changes recipe calculator)* 1.5 cups (or a can) of black beans, rinsed* 1 cup whole kernel corn (I used frozen, but fresh is great!)* 1.5 cups diced tomatoes (or can) Note: I used the one with green chili's, but that wasn't an option...* 4 oz. Velveeta (Light was used)* 1 lb ground beef, lean (I'm trying chicken next time!)* 1 cup enchilada sauce* 4 oz./servings of tortilla chips* 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozarella or "taco flavor" would be awesome)* We also added jalapeno's to the top. I also added in some fresh cilantro to taste* AWESOME with Cilantro Lime Rice (I posted this recipe as well)
Preheat oven to 350º
Brown beef until cooked. Add in enchilada sauce, tomatoes, velveeta, black beans, corn and cilantro; Cook until melted/mixed.
While that's cooking, in a 9 x 13 casserole dish, spray non-stick cooking spray and layer 2 tortilla shells.
Add the beef mixture until coating shells. Layer on 2 more shells and repeat. On the last layer (2 more shells), spread rest of beef mixture and crush up tortilla chips (lightly). I might have used less than 4 oz., but it was about 2 handfuls of chips. I then lightly sprinkled with cheddar cheese.
Baked in the oven for about 10-12 minutes (till cheese was melted on top.
Let sit about 10 minutes and cut 4 x 3 for 12 servings. Delicious with Cilantro Lime Rice (another recipe posted).
Makes 12 servings that are extremely hearty!
