Ingredients
Meat and Seasonings
- 1 lb lean ground beef (93/7)
- 1 package (1 oz) taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup water
Sauce and Vegetables
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
Other Ingredients
- 6 taco sized flour tortillas (or 3 burrito sized), cut into 1″ strips
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
- Cilantro, for garnish (optional)
- Sour cream, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the Beef: In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until no pink remains, about 7 to 9 minutes. Drain any excess fat from the skillet and return the beef to the pan.
- Add Seasoning and Sauce: Stir in the taco seasoning, water, and enchilada sauce. Continue cooking over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken slightly and the flavors to combine.
- Add Beans, Corn, and Tortillas: Reduce the heat to low and add the drained black beans, thawed corn, and tortilla strips. Gently stir and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes so the tortillas soften and absorb the sauce.
- Melt Cheese: Sprinkle shredded Mexican blend cheese evenly over the skillet. Stir just until the cheese melts and blends into the dish.
- Serve: Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream if desired for a creamy, fresh finish.
