Brown 1 pound of lean ground beef and 1 small chopped yellow onion in a pan until the onions are translucent.

Add 1 teaspoon of ground cumin, salt, and pepper to taste, and continue to cook until browned.

Transfer the cooked beef and onion mixture to a 9x13 casserole dish.

Mix in 1 can (10 ounce) of red enchilada sauce with the beef and onion mixture.

Add 1 can (15 ounce) of drained corn and 1 can (15 ounce) of drained black beans to the mixture and stir well.

Add about 1 to 1.5 cups of shredded cheese to the mixture and combine.

Layer tater tots from a 5-pound bag on top of the mixture in a single layer without stacking them.

Place the casserole in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 40 to 45 minutes, keeping an eye on the tater tots to prevent burning.

After 45 minutes, remove the casserole from the oven and garnish with additional cheese, green onions, and black olives. Add a dollop of sour cream in the center.
