Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, diced green chiles, and minced jalapeno. Mix well and let simmer for a few minutes.

In a baking dish, layer some of the tortillas, followed by a portion of the beef mixture, and a sprinkle of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.

Repeat the layering process until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Top with diced avocado, lemon juice, diced tomato, and chopped cilantro.
