This Beef Enchilada Casserole Recipe is a family-friendly casserole packed with many hearty, wholesome ingredients.

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Beef Mixture:
    • In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is softened. Drain any excess grease.
    • Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, and diced green chiles. Simmer for 5-7 minutes, then remove from heat.
  2. Assemble the Casserole:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
    • Arrange a layer of tortillas on the bottom of the baking dish, overlapping slightly to cover the surface.
    • Spread half of the beef mixture evenly over the tortillas, then sprinkle with half of the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses.
    • Repeat with another layer of tortillas, the remaining beef mixture, and the remaining cheese.
  3. Bake to Perfection:
    • Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and slightly crispy.
  4. Garnish and Serve:
    • While the casserole is baking, prepare the avocado topping by tossing diced avocado with lemon juice to prevent browning.
    • Once the casserole is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly.
    • Garnish with diced tomato, chopped cilantro, minced jalapeno, and the prepared avocado topping.
