Cheesy Beef and Bean Baked Tortilla Casserole
A hearty yet balanced casserole that layers lean ground beef, protein-packed black beans, and whole wheat tortillas under a melty blanket of low-fat cheddar cheese. This dish melds savory spices with a touch of fresh salsa for bright acidity, making it a nutrient-rich option perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces lean ground beef (cooked)
2 whole wheat tortillas
1/2 cup black beans (cooked)
1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup fresh tomato salsa
1/4 cup diced yellow onion
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet, sauté the diced onion over medium heat until it becomes soft and translucent.
Add the lean ground beef to the skillet along with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the beef is browned and cooked through, breaking it apart as it cooks.
Stir in the black beans and half of the tomato salsa into the beef mixture and allow it to heat through.
Lightly grease a small casserole dish and layer the mixture evenly. Tear the whole wheat tortillas into pieces and distribute them over the beef and bean layer.
Top the casserole with low-fat shredded cheddar cheese and the remaining salsa.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let the casserole cool for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy your balanced and savory meal!
