Ingredients:

1 pound lean ground beef (90% lean) 

1 large onion, chopped or season with Onion powder or minced onion 

2 1/2 cups salsa 

1 can (15 ounces) black beans or red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 

1/4 cup reduced-fat Italian salad dressing 

2 tablespoons reduced-sodium taco seasoning 

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin 

6 flour tortillas (8 inches) 

1 small can of drained corn, or about 1 1/4 cups of frozen corn (optional) 

3/4 cup reduced-fat sour cream *Note: I used 1/2 cup 

2 cups (8 ounces) shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend 

1 cup shredded lettuce 

1 medium tomato, chopped

1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro

Directions:

In a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain.

Spoon a generous layer of meat mixture on bottom of 2 quart baking dish. Sprinkle with grated cheese.

Place a flour or corn tortilla on top of meat mixture. Layer with half of the meat mixture, and cheese. Repeat as many layers as you like.

The last & final layer should be a healthy dose of grated cheese.
