🔥 Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Cook the meat: In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat. Drain excess fat.

3. Add flavor: Stir in taco seasoning, a splash of water (about 1/4 cup), and cook until thickened (2–3 minutes).

4. Mix the filling: Add black beans, corn, Rotel, and salsa. Stir to combine and heat through.

5. Layer the casserole:

   • In a greased 9×13” baking dish, layer half the tortillas on the bottom.

   • Add half the meat mixture.

   • Sprinkle with 1 cup of cheese.

   • Repeat layers (tortillas, meat, cheese).

6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and the cheese is melted.

7. Top & serve: Let rest 5 minutes. Add toppings as desired.

💡 Tips:

• Swap tortillas for crushed tortilla chips for a crunchier version.

• Use leftover shredded chicken instead of beef for a twist.

• Make it vegetarian by skipping the meat and adding more beans or sautéed veggies.
