Cheesy Lean Ground Beef and Black Bean Baked Tortilla Casserole
A wholesome twist on a hearty casserole, featuring lean ground beef and protein-packed black beans, layered with a melty low-fat cheddar and diced fresh vegetables. This dish combines savory spices with a satisfying crunch of tortilla, making each bite both comforting and energizing.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounces Lean Ground Beef (90% lean)
1/2 cup Black Beans (canned, low sodium, drained)
1/4 cup Low-Fat Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
1 Whole Wheat Tortilla
1/2 cup Diced Tomatoes
1/4 cup Chopped Onion
1 tsp Chili Powder
1 tsp Cumin
1 Garlic Clove (minced)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the lean ground beef until browned. Break it up into small crumbles as it cooks. Drain any excess fat if necessary.
Add the minced garlic, chopped onion, chili powder, and cumin to the beef. Sauté for an additional 2 minutes until the onions soften and the spices become fragrant.
Stir in the black beans and diced tomatoes. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Prepare a small baking dish by lightly greasing it. Place the whole wheat tortilla at the bottom of the dish, slightly overlapping if necessary.
Spread the beef and bean mixture evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese on top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the casserole is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
