Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a skillet, cook ground beef over medium heat until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in cumin, chili powder, and jalapeños; cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

In a large bowl, combine refried beans, black beans, corn, and salsa; mix well.

Spread a layer of the bean mixture in the bottom of a baking dish.

Layer tortillas over the bean mixture, followed by half of the beef mixture and half of the cheddar cheese.

Repeat the layers with remaining tortillas, bean mixture, beef, and cheese.

Cover the dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.

Let cool for 5 minutes before serving; garnish with green onions and sour cream.
