Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large skillet, cook the ground beef and diced onion over medium heat until the beef is browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes with green chilies. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.
In a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce.
Layer 4 tortillas on the bottom, overlapping slightly if needed. Spread half of the beef mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.
Repeat with another layer of tortillas, beef mixture, and cheese. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the casserole is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden.
Let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with sour cream, black olives, and fresh cilantro. Serve hot.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, omit the beef and add extra beans or veggies like bell peppers and corn.
Customize with toppings like diced avocado, jalapeños, or shredded lettuce.
You can substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option.
