Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cans (10 oz each) Old El Paso™ enchilada sauce
1 lb extra-lean (at least 95%) ground beef
1 1/4 cups chopped onion
2 medium poblano chiles, seeded, chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 can (15 oz) Progresso™ black beans, drained, rinsed
1 cup Green Giant™ Niblets™ frozen whole kernel corn, thawed
1 package (1 oz) Old El Paso™ 40% less sodium taco seasoning mix
10 corn tortillas (6 inch)
2 cups shredded reduced-fat four-cheese Mexican cheese blend (8 oz)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Light sour cream
Chopped fresh tomato
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Spray 5-quart oval slow cooker with cooking spray. Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into bottom of slow cooker; spread evenly. In small bowl, reserve 1/2 cup enchilada sauce; set aside.
  • In 12-inch skillet, cook beef, onion, poblano chiles and garlic over medium-high heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until beef is thoroughly cooked. Drain if necessary. Stir in remaining enchilada sauce (not the 1/2 cup reserved), the black beans, corn and taco seasoning mix. Cook and stir about 3 minutes or until heated through. Remove from heat.
  • Place 1 tortilla in center of slow cooker. Cut 1 tortilla in half; place one half on each side of whole tortilla. Spoon 1 1/3 cups beef mixture over tortillas; sprinkle with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Top with 2 more tortillas, cutting to fit. Repeat layers 3 more times with beef mixture, tortillas and cheese. Top with reserved 1/2 cup sauce.
  • Cover; cook on Low heat setting 3 hours. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Turn slow cooker off; cover and let stand about 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with cilantro.
  • Serve immediately with toppings.
