Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, and cook until softened. Season with salt and pepper.
- Stir in the black beans and diced green chilies, then pour in about 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce to mix everything together.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
- Place 2 tortillas on the bottom of the dish, overlapping slightly.
- Spoon a layer of the meat mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle with a layer of cheese.
- Repeat layers of tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese until you've used all your ingredients, ending with a final layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!
