Ingredients
  

  • 4 medium flour tortillas about 10-inches
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound ground sirloin
  • 1 small brown onion diced
  • 2 garlic cloves chopped
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 3 cups fresh baby spinach leaves chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 cups cheddar-jack cheese shredded
  • fresh cilantro for garnish
  • sour cream for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or springform pan, set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and cook the ground beef until browned. Add the chopped onion, garlic and seasonings and cook for about 5 minutes or until they have softened. Add in the chopped spinach and corn and cook until the spinach has wilted. Stir in the tomato paste. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat.
  • Place one flour tortilla in the prepared dish. Spoon some of the ground beef mixture, spreading it out evenly. Top with cheese, and repeat with another flour tortilla, more ground beef and cheese. Continue in this manner with the remaining two layers. Finish with a flour tortilla on top and a sprinkling of cheese.
  • Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and the cheese has melted on top. Cut into wedges and serve with a garnish of sour cream and fresh cilantro. Enjoy!
