How to make a taco enchilada casserole
First, make the beef filling but sauteeing the ground beef in a skillet over medium heat. When the meat is brown, stir in the enchilada sauce and salsa. Set it aside.
Combine the black beans, chopped peppers and corn in a bowl.
Start assembling the casserole by placing 4 corn tortillas on the bottom of your casserole dish .
Cover the tortillas with half of the meat mixture.
Top it with half of the bean and corn mix.
And now add a layer of cheese on top.
To repeat, add another 4 tortillas on top of the cheese layer, then the rest of the beef, bean and corn mix, and cheese.
Bake the enchilada and taco casserole uncovered until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Let it cool for a few minutes out of the oven, then serve and enjoy!
Can you make it ahead of time?
You can assemble and store the enchilada taco casserole up to 1 day ahead of time. Cover the casserole dish with plastic and keep it in the fridge until it’s time to bake.
Alternatively, bake the casserole, let it cool, and store it (covered) in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat the casserole or individual portions in a 350ºF oven or microwave for a few minutes.
Is it freezer-friendly?
Absolutely! Wrap the unbaked and assembled casserole really well in plastic and freeze for up to 3 months. It can be baked right from frozen until the cheese is melted.
