- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (15 ounce) jar medium heat salsa
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed
- 8 ounces sour cream
- 1 (4 ounce) can chopped green chilies
- 6 medium-sized flour tortillas
- 2 cups Mexican blend cheese
Toppings:
- 1 cup chopped lettuce
- 1/4 cup chopped tomatoes
- 1/2 of an avocado, cubed
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/4 cup crumbled queso fresco
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a large skillet add ground beef and spices. Once browned, drain beef (if necessary) and add in salsa, black beans, sour cream and green chilies. Cook on medium heat until warmed. Take off heat and start to assemble the casseroles.
- Spray nonstick spray into two 9 x 9-inch square glass dishes. Add one flour tortilla at the bottom of each pan.
