Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can chili beans, drained
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 can enchilada sauce
- 10 corn tortillas
- 1 can sliced black olives (optional)
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and bell pepper until the beef is browned and the vegetables are tender, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir in the chili beans, taco seasoning, and enchilada sauce until well combined. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a 9×13-inch baking dish, create layers starting with a layer of corn tortillas. Add a layer of the beef mixture, followed by a layer of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a generous layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with sliced black olives if desired. Let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving.
