Instructions

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef, onion, and garlic until the beef is browned and the onion is softened.
Drain any excess fat and discard.
Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and salsa and simmer until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
Arrange 3 tortillas flat on the bottom, overlapping slightly.
Spread 2 cups of the beef mixture over the tortillas to cover and then sprinkle with ½ cup of cheese.
Repeat with two additional layers of tortillas, beef, and cheese.
Top with the remaining 3 tortillas, the remaining 1 cup of beef mixture, and ½ cup of cheese.
Cover and cook on low for 4 hours or on high for 2 hours, until heated through and the cheese is melted.
Let rest for 10 minutes before serving and top with optional garnishes.

Notes

Consider adding extra toppings like jalapeños or cilantro for added flavor.
Make sure to drain the beans and corn well to avoid excess liquid in the casserole.
This dish can be easily customized with your favorite toppings.
