Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In large pot cook pasta as instructed on the box. Drain and put back into the pot.
- Add diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, black beans, green pepper and taco seasoning mix to pot. Mix so it's all combined.

- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Serve warm and put a nice dollop of sour cream and cilantro on top.
Tips:
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give your casserole a more complex flavor. A good combination is cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca.
- Don't overcook the ground beef. You want it to be cooked through, but not dry. Cook it over medium heat until it is no longer pink.
- Use a good quality taco seasoning. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your casserole. You can use a store-bought seasoning or make your own.
- Layer the ingredients carefully. This will help to ensure that the casserole cooks evenly. Start with a layer of tortillas, then add the ground beef, cheese, and salsa. Repeat the layers until you have used up all of the ingredients.
- Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and the cheese is melted. This will usually take about 30 minutes.
- Serve the casserole with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, guacamole, and pico de gallo.
