Hamburger Tortilla Bake

This is one of our go-to recipes when we don't know what to make for supper, but we want something quick and easy. This home style hamburger tortilla bake uses ingredients I have in the kitchen or pantry. It is very easy on the budget too!

Ingredients

1 lb. ground beef
1 onion, chopped
1 sweet pepper
1 to 2 jalapenos, chopped (optional)
16 oz. can tomato sauce
15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup frozen corn or 1 can corn, drained
1 to 2 Tbs. chili powder
1 Tbs. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
6 (8-inch) tortillas
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

Heat oven to 350°. Spray a 11x7 inch baking dish. 

In a large, cast iron skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, sweet pepper and jalapeno over medium heat until the ground beef is no longer pink and the vegetables are tender. 

Stir in the tomato sauce, black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and oregano. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through.

Layer 4 tortillas in the bottom of the 11x7 inch baking dish.  Spread half the beef mixture over the top and then add half of the cheese. Layer the other 4 tortillas over the top. Spread the remaining beef mixture and then add the rest of the cheese. 

Bake 25-30 minutes until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
