### How to Make Crinkle Tortilla Casserole

1. **Preheat your oven** to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a skillet, cook the ground beef (or chicken) and diced onion until browned. Drain any excess fat.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning, black beans, and diced tomatoes with chilies. Let it simmer for a few minutes to blend the flavors.
4. Crinkle each tortilla by gently folding or scrunching it — no need for perfection; the rustic look is part of the charm.
5. In a greased baking dish, layer some crinkled tortillas on the bottom.
6. Spoon a layer of the meat and bean mixture over the tortillas, then sprinkle a layer of cheese.
7. Repeat the layering process: tortillas, meat mixture, cheese, until you run out of ingredients, finishing with a generous cheese layer on top.
8. Pour salsa or enchilada sauce evenly over the casserole.
9. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden.
