Any ground meat would work just fine in here though, or even some cooked, shredded chicken. Serve this with hot sauce, sour cream, salsa and guacamole for topping.
To make this #dinnerdoneby9am I fully prepare the casserole in the morning without baking, refrigerate all day, then bake just prior to serving.
-1 package corn tortillas, cut into quarters
-1 Tbsp olive oil
-1 lb ground turkey or beef
-1 yellow onion, diced
-3 cloves garlic, minced
-1 Tbsp chili powder
-1 tsp cumin
-1 1/4 c taco sauce or salsa, divided use
-1 cup drained canned corn
-1 cup drained and rinsed black beans
-2 cups of shredded cheddar or Mexican cheese
-sliced jalapenos, sliced black olives, fresh scallions, or fresh cilantro for garnishing the top
Heat large pan coated with olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and ground meat and cook until meat is no longer pink (10 minutes). Drain and return meat mixture to pan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Add chili powder and cumin and cook until fragrant and evenly coated over the meat (about 1 minute). Add 1 cup salsa or taco sauce. Add black beans and corn, stir to combine, and cook until warmed through (about 3 minutes).
Coat a medium pan with oil or cooking spray. Place tortilla quarters along bottom of pan covering it. Top tortillas with 1/2 of meat mixture. Top meat mixture with 1/3 of cheese. Repeat layers of tortillas, meat and cheese. Top cheese with additional tortillas. Spread 1/4 cup of taco sauce or salsa across top tortillas. Cover with remaining cheese. Top with jalapenos or black olives (if using).
Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Top lasagna with fresh cilantro or scallions and serve.
