In a large skillet, brown ground beef. Drain.
1/2 pound ground beef
Add in the salsa, corn and olives if you like them. Simmer for 5 minutes.
15 oz (1 jar) thick and chunky salsa, 11 oz can Mexicorn
In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese and sour cream together until blended.
1 cup cottage cheese, 1 cup sour cream
In the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish, place 3 of the corn tortillas. I had two next to each other and then split the third one in half to fill in the empty room on the sides.
6 corn tortillas
Top with 1/2 of the meat mixture.
Cover the meat mixture with 1/2 of the black beans.
15 oz can black beans
Spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the black beans.
Sprinkle about 1 cup of cheddar cheese over the beans.
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
Repeat the layers, ending with the cottage cheese layer.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
Remove foil, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and olive slices. Return to oven for 5 minutes, or until cheese is melted.
