Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add ground beef or turkey and cook until browned. Drain excess fat.
Stir in taco seasoning, black beans, corn, and salsa. Simmer for 5–7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
If using regular noodles, cook them according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Spread a thin layer of the meat mixture in the bottom of the baking dish. Layer with noodles, meat mixture, sour cream or ricotta (if using), and shredded cheese.
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with cilantro and green onions, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

Oven-ready noodles save time and work well if your filling is moist enough.Use enchilada sauce instead of salsa for a different flavor profile.Add jalapeños or green chilies for more heat.Leftovers reheat and freeze well—perfect for meal prep.
