Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and crumbled. Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn kernels, and diced tomatoes. Let the mixture simmer for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the flavors to blend together.
-
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the cooked rice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Spread half of the beef and vegetable mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with one cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Layer the remaining beef and vegetable mixture on top and cover with the remaining cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
-
Cover the casserole with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
-
Once cooked, let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with sour cream, salsa, and avocado slices on the side.
