Black Bean ad Beef Enchilada Casserole Recipe

 This recipe came the internet and I don't remember the site where I got it. So if you know it or recognize it please put the website down in the comment section. For this recipe you will need 1/2 pound ground beef (I used a whole pound); 1 small onion (I used dried onions); 1 and 1/2 teaspoons chili powder; 1 teaspoon cumin; 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed (15oz); 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (15oz); 1 can diced green chili peppers (4oz); 1 (16oz) container sour cream; 1/4 salt; 12 corn tortillas (6 inches in diameter each); 1 can enchilada (10oz); 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
1. In a large skillet, on medium-high heat, cook the ground beef, chopped onion until meat is no longer pink, drain all the fat/liquid from the pan. Add chili powder, cumin, and 1/4 teaspoon salt into the meat mixture and cook, stirring for about a minute, to let the spices mix in and until onion is soft. Add drained and rinsed black beans and pinto beans, and undrained chili peppers into meat mixture  turn off heat. Taste the meat-bean mixture, and add more salt if needed. Add more chili powder or cumin, than indicated in the recipe, if needed. Set aside.
2. Use a 3 quart rectangular baking dish- 11 inches long x 8.5 inches wide x 3 inches deep. Place 4 tortillas on the bottom, overlapping to cover the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread 1/3 of the meat-bean mixture over the tortillas. Top with 1/3 of sour cream, dropping it in small dollops all over, then carefully spreading it over the meat-bean mixture. Top the sour cream with 1/3 of enchilada sauce. Repeat layers 2 more times (3 total layers).
3. NOTE: For the final layer, reverse the order of beef mixture and sour cream , by adding sour cream and enchilada sauce first (over the tortillas), then top the sour cream and enchilada sauce with the remaining beef mixture with cheese on top.
4. Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes covered, then remove foil. Top with cheese and bake 10 more minutes uncovered.
I made only 2 layers with this mixture. I didn't have the right size casserole dish. We really enjoyed this dish. I was a little surprised because not everyone likes sour cream.
I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know what you think down below.
Until next time enjoy your day.
