A hearty, cheesy taco-inspired casserole layered with beef, beans, corn, salsa, and tortillas — all made easy in the slow cooker.
1 lb ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning (or 2 tbsp homemade)
1 small onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn (frozen or canned)
1 1/2 cups chunky salsa or Rotel
6 corn tortillas, cut into strips (or 2 cups crushed tortilla chips)
2 cups shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
1/4 cup water
In a skillet, cook ground beef with onion and garlic until browned. Drain fat.
Add taco seasoning and 1/4 cup water. Simmer 2 minutes.
Lightly grease a slow cooker. Layer half the tortilla strips, then half the beef, beans, corn, salsa, and cheese.
Repeat layers and top with remaining cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or high for 2–3 hours.
Let rest 10–15 minutes before serving. Top with sour cream, avocado, or cilantro.
