Preparation Steps

• Preheat the oven to 375°F.
• Lay 2 of the flour tortillas into the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish. Trim excess edges using a sharp knife or pizza cutter to fit the dish.
• Spray a 9x13 baking dish with nonstick spray and set aside.
• In a 3-4 quart saucepan over medium-high heat, cook ground beef, onion, and minced garlic until beef is cooked through and no longer pink. Reduce heat to medium-low.
• Whisk together taco seasoning and water in a small bowl. Pour over cooked beef and cook for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring often. Remove from heat.
• Arrange 2 of the trimmed tortillas in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
• Spread ½ of the meat mixture over tortillas.
• Spread ½ of the salsa over the meat mixture.
• Sprinkle ½ of the black beans over the salsa.
• Sprinkle ½ of the shredded cheese over the beans.
• Arrange the last 2 tortillas over the shredded cheese, then repeat the layers with remaining ingredients.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and top with sour cream and pico de gallo if desired. Serve hot.
