Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 2 qt. baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add ground beef; cook for 6-8 minutes, breaking up the meat while cooking. Discard any excess grease. Add taco seasoning, beans, salt and pepper; stir to combine.
Spread 1/4 c. enchilada sauce over the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer 1/3 of the tortillas over the sauce; add 1/2 of the meat mixture; add 3/4 c. cheese on top of the meat; pour 1/2 c. enchilada sauce over the cheese. Repeat the process with 1/3 of the tortillas, remaining meat mixture, 3/4 c. cheese and 1/2 c. enchilada sauce.
Add the remaining 1/3 of the tortillas on top of the casserole; pour the remaining sauce over the top of the tortillas. Sprinkle on the rest of the cheese.
Cover the casserole with foil. Bake for 30 minutes; uncover; bake 5-10 minutes or until cheese is melted and browned.
Sprinkle tomatoes and green onions over the top. Allow the casserole sit for 5 minutes before cutting. Serve with additional toppings, if desired.
6 servings.
Tip: Butter both side of the tortillas before adding to casserole to keep the tortilla from getting soggy.
