Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees if you don't have a 12 oven-safe skillet spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Heat a large 12-inch skillet on medium-high heat and add the ground beef and diced onion and cook until meat is browned, drain any extra fat.
- Add in the taco seasoning, green chiles, black beans, corn, salsa and enchilada sauce and mix until combined.
- Stir in 2 cups of the shredded cheese and mix.
- Place the frozen tater tots on top of the meat mixture, bake for 35-40 minutes.
- Remove the casserole from the oven and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the tater tots. Return to the oven and bake another 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

Notes
- Ground chicken or turkey can be used in place of ground beef.
- I like to use a thick salsa to prevent the meat mixture from being watery.
